Abstract excerpt
An in vitro carcinogenesis model of human skin keratinocytes has been developed based on the spontaneously immortalized keratinocyte cell line HaCaT. Immortalization, the initial stage in human carcinogenesis in vitro, was induced by ultraviolet-type mutations in the p53 gene followed by further genetic alterations leading to the loss of senescence genes, in particular on chromosome 3p. Despite multiple genetic...
