The impact of pericytes on vessel permeability. 70 kDa FITC-dextran was perfused after 10 days of culture. (A) Using ‘net-fold intensity change/mm2 to define vessel permeability, the addition of pericytes had no significant impact on endothelial barrier function (mean ± SEM, 0.38 ± 0.07 compared with 0.4 ± 0.07 for endothelial monocultures). (B) Representative epifluorescence images at T = 0 and T = 30 min. Scale bar: 100 µm. N = 6; n.s., non significant.
