Abstract excerpt
As an alternative to primary fetal tissue, immortalized central nervous system (CNS)-derived cell lines are useful for in vitro CNS model systems and for gene manipulation with potential clinical use in neural transplantation. However, obtaining immortalized cells with a desired phenotype is unpredictable, because the molecular mechanisms of growth and differentiation of CNS cells are poorly understood. The SV40...
