Development of an Immortalized Porcine Fibroblast Cell Panel With Different Swine Leukocyte Antigen Genotypes
Immortalized cell lines are valuable resources to expand the molecular characterization of major histocompatibility complex genes and their presented antigens. We generated a panel of immortalized cell lines by transfecting human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) into primary fibroblast cells prepared from ear, fetal, and lung tissues of 10 pigs from five breeds and successfully cultured …
