Abstract excerpt
The induction of immortalization of human fibroblasts by carcinogens is a very rare process. Hybrids between immortal cells and normal fibroblasts senesce, indicating that immortal cells must lose one or more senescence genes for immortalization. To examine the possible involvement of multiple gene alterations in extended lifespan or immortalization of normal human fibroblasts, normal human fibroblasts (WHE-7...
