Abstract excerpt
Here we report the characterization of a series of telomerase-immortalized human umbilical vein endothelial cell lines (i-HUVEC). These cells maintain endothelial characteristics such as marker expression, dependence on basic fibroblast growth factor for proliferation, and the ability to form tube structures on Matrigel. In addition, these cells do not show signs of tumorigenic transformation because their growth...
