This artwork is derived from an immunocytochemistry image showing the interaction between bEnd.3 cells. The cells are stained blue with an antibody bound to the adhesion molecule JAM-A.

bend.3 cells are derived from the mouse neurovascular system. As an immortalized cell line, they have been genetically modified and can be used as an alternative to primary brain endothelial cells.
