Biochem/physiol Actions
Established by SV40 ts30 transformation of human placental cells. The cells express the transformed phenotype at the permissive temperature (33C) and the non-transformed phenotype at the non-permissive temperature (40C). The line has a limited life expectancy of 15 to 18 passages before entering the crisis stage.
