Preliminary studies have demonstrated structural differences in the glycocalyx of pulmonary artery endothelial cells compared with pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells. In addition, if the interaction between sialic acid and the AAV6 capsid is more efficient than that of AAV1 for cell entry, this might account for the increased transduction of AAV6 compared to AAV1 in […]

Finally, is there a threshold of sialic acid loss that must be attained before barrier disruption occurs? More specifically, treatment of endothelial monolayers with neuraminidases leads to endothelial barrier disruption. However, the fact that there was an actual increase in resistance suggests that there is something more going on, something we do not yet understand.
