Prostate Cell Lines

Asterand offers three pairs of prostate tumor and normal cell lines. Researchers at the Karmanos Cancer Institute, Onyvax Ltd. , and Asterand collaborated to derive these cell lines from tumors and adjacent abnormal tissues obtained at the time of prostatectomy (Eliason, James F. et al. 2004); (Palazzolo, B et al. 2005).

These prostate cell lines were immortalized via replication-defective retrovirus transferring the transforming HPV16 or HPV18 E6 and E7 genes.

Features of prostate cell lines:

  • Adapted for growth in low calcium KSFM +2% FBS or with physiological levels of Ca2+
  • Mycoplasma negative
  • Characterized via IHC and Western blotting
