Characterization of endocrine cell lines immortalized by a temperature-sensitive mutant SV40.

Abstract excerpt

An ideal in vitro model for the study of endocrine functions would be one in which cells could propagate in culture and express their specialized functions. Most endocrine studies to date have relied on primary cell culture or on the use of tumor cell lines. This report describes the characterization of three endocrine cell lines immortalized by transfecting endocrine cells with a temperature-sensitive mutant...
