Pns cell lines and methods of use therefor

摘要

Conditionally-immortalized PNS progenitor cell lines are provided. Such cell lines, which may be clonal, may be used to generate neurons. The cell lines and/or differentiated cells may be used for the development of therapeutic agents to prevent and treat a variety of PNS-related diseases. The cell lines and/or differentiated cells may also be used in assays and for the general study of PNS cell development, death and abnormalities.
