Human ovarian surface epithelial cells immortalized with hTERT maintain functional pRb and p53 expression
14 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Cell immortalization is considered to be a prerequisite status for carcinogenesis. Normal human ovarian surface epithelial (OSE) cells, which are thought to be the origin of most of human ovarian carcinomas, have a very limited lifespan in culture. Establishment of immortalized OSE cell lines has, in the past, required inactivation of pRb and p53 functions. However, this often leads to increased...
