Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Establishing a peritoneal mesothelial cell (MC) line in which the native characteristics of primary MCs are constantly maintained in vivo is of great significance for investigating their morphological and functional changes in peritoneal dialysis. We established transgenic (Tg) rats that expressed the temperature-sensitive tsA58 mutant of the simian virus 40 large T-antigen (tsSV40T), which served as...
