| Research Abstract |
We have isolated an immortalized cells derived from human thyroid follicles. These cells transcribe the PAX-8 gene but do not express any stem cell marker. After gamma-irradiation, cells were maintained at confluence to check focus formation. We observed dose-dependent foci formation, however, foci-derived cells lack transformed phenotypes, indicating that malignant conversion still requires additional genetic alterations
