Given a passage with a context and an answer, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. Construct the question in such a way that (i) it is unambiguous, (ii) it is answerable from the passage, (iii) its answer is unique (iv) it answer uses text phrases from the passage. Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.

Q: Context: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of exogenous expression of the catalytic subunit of telomerase (hTERT) on the lifespan, growth characteristics, and tumorigenicity of normal human ovarian surface epithelial (OSE) cells.', 'Low-passage primary cultures of normal human OSE cells were transfected with hTERT and the resulting cell lines were characterized.', 'The ectopic expression of hTERT stabilized the telomeres of the OSE cultures above 8 kb. The hTERT-transfected OSE cell lines grew beyond the normal lifespan seen in OSE cells and propagated in culture for more than 40 passages before senescing. Moreover, the hTERT-transfected cells demonstrated extensive proliferative capacity as evidenced by their ability to continuously grow even when seeded at low dilutions. The morphologic features and normal differentiation patterns seen in normal OSE cells were likewise retained by the hTERT-transfected cells. In addition, the cultures remained responsive to physiologic concentrations of epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta. Changes associated with neoplastic transformation like anchorage-independent growth, tumorigencity and karyotypic instability were not observed.
Answer: We were able to show that the ectopic expression of hTERT in normal human OSE: 1) resulted in cultures with greater growth potential and longer lifespan and 2) did not induce a transformed phenotype previously seen in viral oncogene-transfected OSE cells. The established cell lines would not only provide sufficient material for comprehensive studies to investigate the normal physiology of OSE cells, but could also help in the understanding of the early steps of ovarian carcinogenesis.

A: Does telomerase prolong the lifespan of normal human ovarian surface epithelial cells without inducing neoplastic phenotype?

Q: Context: The authors previously described the complete regression of established neuroblastoma (NB) by the adoptive transfer of syngeneic interleukin-12 transduced dendritic cells (DC) from naive mice. However, some malignancies, like NB, abrogate DC immunostimulation. The authors hypothesize that IL-12 transduction of DC from NB-bearing mice will have the same antitumor properties.', 'A/J mice (n = 32) with established NB received peritumoral injection of 1 x 10(6) DC (DC, IL-12 DC, day 7 IL-12 DC or day 14 IL-12 DC) on day 7. Tumor growth, phenotype, and ability to induce NK and T cell activity were measured.', 'Vaccination with naive admIL-12 DC resulted in 100% tumor regression and prolonged survival. Transduced DC induced only partial responses in 75% (day 7) and 25% (day 14) of animals. No differences in phenotype or effector cell activation were noted between admIL-12DC in tumor-bearing or naive mice.
Answer: IL-12 DC from tumor-bearing animals have a decreased ability to induce antitumor activity against established murine NB. This decreased capacity appears to be related to the duration of exposure to tumor because day 14 transduced DC had less of an effect than day 7 DC, despite similar phenotypes and ability to activate immune effector cells.

Q: Context: To assess the role of whole-body computed tomography (CT) for determining morphological suitability before multiorgan retrieval (MOR) in brain dead patients.', 'Fifty-one clinically brain dead patients (21 women, 30 men; mean age 61 year15) were included in this prospective, single center study. All patients had CT angiography of the brain and whole-body CT examination. CT images were evaluated for the presence of morphological abnormalities of lungs, liver and other abdominal organs and presence of vascular anatomical variants. The results of CT examinations were compared to intraoperative findings observed during organ harvesting and/or the results of histopathological analysis of biopsy specimens. The impact of whole-body CT examination on the harvesting process was evaluated.', 'Ninety-five percent of vascular anatomical variants that were found intraoperatively were depicted on CT. CT density measurements predicted surgical finding of steatosis in 80% of patients. Whole-body CT changed the MOR strategy in 21/51 patients (41%) including 3 MOR cancellations and 8 grafts refusals, whereas organ harvesting was continued in 10 patients after histopathological analysis was performed.
Answer: Selection of potential graft donors using whole-body CT is reliable and improves graft selection during MOR.

A:
Is simultaneous CT angiography and whole-body CT an effective imaging approach before multiorgan retrieval?
