- Summary
- A tumor cell line from a primary papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (nuclear grade III/IV) was developed by WSU researchers. This cell line, known as KCI-18, when implanted in the kidney of nude mice provides a xenograft tumor model of RCC. The KCI-18 cell line is highly tumorigenic, with lung metastases forming from the primary tumor as in human renal cell carcinoma. Available non-exclusively via biological materials licensing.
