Evaluation of soluble junctional adhesion molecule-A as a biomarker of human brain endothelial barrier breakdown.

<h4>Background</h4>An inducible release of soluble junctional adhesion molecule-A (sJAM-A) under pro-inflammatory conditions was described in cultured non-CNS endothelial cells (EC) and increased sJAM-A serum levels were found to indicate inflammation in non-CNS vascular beds. Here we st...
