Enzymes situated along the luminal surface of pulmonary endothelial cells interact with circulating solutes, notably with vasoactive substances, to regulate the hormonal composition of systemic arterial blood. The range and complexity of reactions occurring at or near the surface of endothelial cells apparently are greater than previously recognized. The quality of cell cultures used to define specific endothelial functions must be carefully controlled, together with development of improved understanding of the effects of long-term culture of pulmonary endothelial cells. New techniques were developed for the culture of pulmonary endothelial cells which avoid exposure to proteolytic enzymes at the isolation step and during subculture. A combination of mechanical harvest and culture on microcarrier beads provided a system for the long-term, large-scale culture of pulmonary endothelial cells, features which to a large extent determine the scope of biochemical studies which can be undertaken.
