Long-term Culture of EBV-induced Human Lymphoblastoid Cell Lines Reveals Chromosomal Instability
28 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
To preserve material for future genetic studies, human B-lymphocytes from whole blood samples are routinely transformed into lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) by in vitro infection with Epstein-Barr virus. To determine the rate and frequency of chromosomal changes during long-term culture, we established 10 LCLs (from eight individuals). Before transformation, these cases showed a normal karyotype (three cases), a...
