Effects of Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors on Telomere Length and Telomerase Activity in Two Immortalized Human Cell Lines
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
The ribonucleoprotein telomerase, a specialized cellular reverse transcriptase, synthesizes one strand of the telomeric DNA of eukaryotes. We analyzed telomere maintenance in two immortalized human cell lines: the B-cell line JY616 and the T-cell line Jurkat E6-1, and determined whether known inhibitors of retroviral reverse transcriptases could perturb telomere lengths and growth rates of these cells in culture....
