Circulating endothelial cells as a sign of vessel wall lesions.
A new method of endothelaemia estimation was used to investigate the production of vessel wall lesions by various drugs in rats. Increased endothelaemia was observed after endotoxin, activation of the blood contract system, hyaluronidase, streptokinase, anoxia and vasoactive drugs.
