Establishment of five immortalized human ovarian surface epithelial cell lines via SV40 T antigen or HPV E6/E7 expression.
BACKGROUND:Human ovarian surface epithelial (HOSE) cells are a critical cell source for ovarian cancer research; however, they are difficult to obtain and maintain under standard laboratory conditions in large quantities.The aim of this study was to generate immortalized HOSE (IHOSE) cells with maintained properties to the original cell source, the
