Reversible Immortalization of Human Primary Cells by Lentivector-Mediated Transfer of Specific Genes
1 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
We exploited the ability of lentiviral vectors to govern the stable transduction of cells irrespective of their cycling status to induce the reversible immortalization of human primary cells. First, bicistronic HIV-derived lentiviral vectors expressing GFP- and the HSV1 thymidine kinase and containing the LoxP sequence in their LTR (HLox) were used to transduce HeLa cells. Cre expression led to efficient proviral...
