Expression of tight junction and drug efflux transporter proteins in an in vitro model of human blood-brain barrier

Interendothelial cell tight junctions (TJs) proteins contribute to maintain the structural and functional integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and several efflux transporters regulate transport of compounds across BBB. A unique double compartment-model of the BBB, consisting of cerebral endoth...
