Using co-culture technique and 3H-thymidine radioautography we have studied effects of human aortic endothelial cells (EC), isolated separately from zones of low (LP) and high (HP) probability of atherosclerosis of grossly normal and atherosclerotic aortas, on 3H-thymidine incorporation by human int...
