Characterization of Growth and Differentiation in a Telomerase-Immortalized Human Corneal Epithelial Cell Line
26 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To develop and characterize a telomerase-immortalized human corneal epithelial cell line (hTCEpi) to serve as an in vitro model for studying the molecular mechanisms involved in regulating human corneal epithelial cell differentiation. METHODS: Primary cultures of human corneal epithelial cells were infected with a retroviral vector encoding human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). Infected hTCEpi...
