Abstract excerpt
Human cells are known to be more refractory than rodent cells against oncogenic transformation in vitro. To date, the molecular mechanisms underlying such resistance remain largely unknown. The combination of simian virus 40 early region and H-Ras V12 has been effective for transformation of rat embryo fibroblasts, but not for human cells. However, the additional ectopic expression of the telomerase catalytic...
