Title of Invention

A METHOD FOR IMMORTALIZING PRIMARY AVIAN-DERIVED CELLS

Abstract This invention relates to a method for immortalizing primary avian-derived cells comprising the steps of: positioning nucleic acid encoding p53 under the control of a metallothionein promoter in a gene vector capable of directing expression ofp53; introducing the gene vector into primary avian-derived cells; and selecting foci of cells with population doubling times of about 0.6 to about 1.5 population doublings per day, wherein the cells are reverse-transcriptase negative and are non-tumorigenic.
