TIG-3, normal human diploid fibroblast cell strain

The cell strain TIG-3, which was established in our institute, has the finite life span up to 70-80 population doubling levels (PDLs). The cell strain has been widely used by many groups of researchers for investigating the molecular mechanisms of cellular aging and immortalization. The preparation of the 2-D gel proteome database was intended for promoting researches on cellular aging. (Toda T, Kaji K, Kimura N. Electrophoresis 19(2), 344-348, 1998) (Toda T, Satoh M, Sugimoto M, Goto M, Furuichi Y, Kimura N. Mech Ageing Dev 100(2):133-143, 1998) (Toda T.
