Description
Human thymic epithelia cells are isolated and transfected with full-length human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and SV40 T expressing lentiviral particles. This immortalized human thymic epithelial cells may be utilized as an in vitro model to advance our understanding of the immune defense. Immortalized Human Thymic Epithelial Cells was continuously cultured for more than 55 population doublings without showing signs of growth retardation or replicative senescence.
