Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)–immortalized primary cells mark a significant advancement in cell biology by melding the in vivo characteristics of primary cells with the in vitro longevity typically seen in continuous cell lines. ATCC has genetically modified human primary cells to possess the growth characteristics of continuous cell lines, including extended proliferative capacity, while preserving the physiological attributes of primary cells. This innovation bridges the gap between traditional primary cells and continuous cell lines, offering researchers a more robust and reliable cell model for various studies.
