Immortalization of distinct human mammary epithelial cell types by human papilloma virus 16 E6 or E7.
25 Apr 1995
Abstract excerpt
Multiple mammary epithelial cell (MEC) types are observed both in mammary ducts in vivo and in primary cultures in vitro; however, the oncogenic potential of different cell types remains unknown. Here, we used human papilloma virus 16 E6 and E7 oncogenes, which target p53 and Rb tumor suppressor proteins, respectively, to immortalize MECs present in early or late passages of human mammary tissue-derived cultures...
