Abstract excerpt
The in vitro life span of human cells is under genetic control and limited. Immortalized cells, however, can be obtained at a low frequency following expression of the SV40 T antigen gene though the steps that lead to immortality are not well understood. p53 has been implicated in cell cycle regulation and evidence suggests it may have a role in controlling life span in rodent and human cells. In this study, we...
