Summary
A Wayne State University researcher has developed new tumorigenic cell lines from the human prostate carcinoma cell line PC-3. These cell lines, known as PC-3/PI, are highly tumorigenic when implanted in the prostate of nude mice, providing a xenograft tumor model of prostate carcinoma. In this model, lymph node metastases form from the primary tumor as in human prostate carcinoma. Available non-exclusively via biological materials licensing.
