We describe a new method to obtain rat aortic endothelial cells without contamination by vascular smooth muscle cells. The endothelial cells were characterized up to the 20th passage by low density lipoprotein incorporation, the absence of alpha-smooth muscle actin, the production of endothelium derived relaxing factor, and an elevation in intracellular free calcium concentration in response to bradykinin and ATP but not to AMP and angiotensin II.
