Abstract

A smooth muscle cell line (H7CM) was established from the ciliary muscle of a 1-day-old human infant. The cultured cells had a normal female karyotype (46 XX) and could be maintained in cell culture for at least 11 generations. A common feature of confluent cultures was the presence of abundant bundles of 6-7 nm microfilaments associated with dense bodies. Both the ultrastructural appearance and ...
