Description | PC-3 is a cell line derived from a bone metastasis of a grade IV prostatic adenocarcinoma in a 62-year-old White male, known for its high metastatic potential. Notably, PC-3 cells are androgen-independent, unresponsive to androgens, glucocorticoids, or fibroblast growth factors, and instead, they are influenced by epidermal growth factors. Unlike other prostate cancer cell models, they exhibit low testosterone-5-alpha reductase and acidic phosphatase activity and do not express prostate-specific antigen (PSA). PC-3 cells are characterized by their small-cell neoendocrine carcinoma phenotype and exhibit distinctive morphological and molecular features. In terms of size, PC-3 cells measure approximately 15.1 to 16.6 micrometers in diameter.
Why choose PC-3 from AcceGen? PC-3 cells exhibit high viability and quality, ensuring robust experimental outcomes. They are maintained under sterile conditions, rigorously tested to be negative for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma contamination, and their identity is confirmed through STR analysis, emphasizing their reliability and adherence to stringent quality control standards. | |||
