Immortalized Human Choroid Plexus Endothelial Cells Enable an Advanced Endothelial-Epithelial Two-Cell Type In Vitro Model of the Choroid Plexus

Transduction of primary human choroid plexus endothelial cells (HCPEnC) with the human telomerase reverse transcriptase resulted in immortalized HCPEnC, which grew as monolayer with contact inhibition, formed capillary-like tubes in Matrigel, and showed no colony growth in soft agar.
