Table 2. Effect of medial layer adhesion proteins on DiI-Ac-LDL uptake.

Adhesion protein None Collagen I Collagen IV Fibronectin Laminin
Normalized DiI-Ac-LDL uptake 1.72±0.29 1.74±0.10 1.7±0.28 1.69±0.28 2.23±0.48

All the values are normalized with respect to DiI-Ac-LDL uptake by EC monoculture. DiI-Ac-LDL is greater in co-culture than monoculture but there is no significant difference produced by adhesion proteins.
