Neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines are transformed, neural crest derived cells, capable of unlimited proliferation in vitro. These cell lines retain the ability of differentiation into neuronal cell types on treatment with various agents. This ability of NB cells to proliferate as well as to differentiate makes it an excellent in vitro system for various studies.
