Immortalized Human Lens Epithelial Cell Line - SV40

The Immortalised Lens Epithelial Cells - SV40 is established from primary cells (isolated from infant lens epithelial fragments) using Adl2-SV40 adenovirus. The Immortalised 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.
