Abstract excerpt
In order to analyze in detail the process of immortalization of human cells, SV40LT was introduced into two chromosome 11p- fibroblast strains from Wilms' tumor patients. Both fibroblasts, hereafter referred to as CM1 and CM2, displayed the mutant phenotype in the crisis stage of cellular aging. In comparison to a control fibroblast, the density of the CM1 strain was abnormally high while the crisis period of the...
