Abstract excerpt
We studied tumorigenic and phenotypic characteristics of pre- and postimmortal human B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) transformed by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV): preimmortal LCLs showed low telomerase activity and a normal diploid karyotype while postimmortal LCLs showed much higher telomerase activity and maintained a clonal aneuploidic state. Among five postimmortal LCLs tested, LCLs N0005 and N6803 formed...
