Description
The Immortalized Lens Epithelial Cells - SV40 is established from primary cells (isolated from infant lens epithelial fragments) using adenovirus-SV40 virus. The Immortalized Human Lens Epithelial Cells - SV40 provides a homogeneous population of cell for the investigation of the physiology of the normal human lens epithelium and study its response to cataractogenic agents and the human lens specific functions. These cells also provide a unique system for examining the relationship between gene expression and differentiation
