Cell culture studies in progeria. I. Establishment and partial characterization of a lymphoblastoid cell line
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development
|October 1, 1979
Abstract:
A lymphoblastoid cell line (EKS-L44) with definitive HLA specificities (HLA-Aw24, w30, B14, w35, Cw4-, DRw4, 5) was established from peripheral blood cells of a patient with progeria using Epstein-Barr virus. Cytogenetic study indicated that EKS-L44 was diploid after four months in vitro. The growth pattern of this cell line was not significantly different from a similarly established normal control nor from other lines initiated from patients with various disorders.
