Fig. 1From: Improvement of erectile dysfunction using endothelial progenitor cells from fetal cerebral vasculature in the cavernous nerve injury of ratsHEN6 expresses human telomerase immortalized cerebral endothelial cell. A HEN6 cells were infected with a retroviral vector encoding telomerase. B The expression of CE transcript or protein was confirmed by RT-PCR or western blot. The result of a RT-PCR analysis for the expression of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) protein in HEN6. C Phase microscopic image of HEN6 (× 40). EC = endothelial cell, HEN6 = human telomerase reverse transcriptase immortalized cerebral endothelial progenitor cells, GAPDH = Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenaseBack to article page
