FIGURE 1:

Generation of TruHD-immortalized cell lines. (A) hTERT mRNA levels normalized to β-actin mRNA levels in RPE1 cells (positive control), primary cells, and TruHD cells. hTERT levels in primary cells were not detectable (ND). n = 5. Error bars represent SEM. *p = 0.0369 comparing TruHD-Q21Q18F, TruHD-Q43Q17M, and TruHD-Q50Q40F by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). (B) Telomeric repeat amplification product (TRAP) assay. Amplification products run on 10% TBE gel after telomere extension reaction, showing telomeric repeats >50 base pairs in increments of 6 base pairs. Template strand is 36 base pairs. Negative control contains no Taq polymerase or template strand. (C) Representative karyotypes of TruHD-Q21Q18F, TruHD-Q43Q17M, and TruHD-Q50Q40F cells. “mar” denotes marker chromosomes, “+” are additional chromosomes and “?add(4)(p14)” denotes additional patterns observed on chromosome 4 at band p14. Results from full karyotype shown in Table 2.
