Quantitation of desmosine in cultures of PE cells stably transfected with tropoelastin indicates that elastin deposited into the extracellular matrix is cross-linked. Desmosine levels in the cell layer of nontransfected PE cells and PE cells stably expressing tropoelastin were determined by ELISA. Values are normalized to cell number.
