Description
Derived from a metastascell line is at the left supraclavicular lymph node of a 50 year old patient with a confirmed diagnosis of metastatic prostate carcinoma. Growth and acid phosphatase production cell line is affected by 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone. They do not form a uniform monolayer and attach only lightly to the substrate. When shipped, cells detach from flask and can either be incubated 24-48 hours to allow attachment or be collected by centrifugation (150xg, 15 minutes) and reseeded.
