Abstract
Endothelial cells play an essential role in homeostasis and regeneration and their transcriptional profile has been found to be tissue specific. Here we describe the isolation of organ specific mouse endothelial cells using either magnetic beads or fluorescence-activated cell sorting. This efficient protocol should allow for the transcriptional characterization of organotypic endothelial cells.
