Cat.No.
CSC-C8204L
Description
This cell line was established from prostate cancer tissue harvested from a metastatic lesion to a lumbar vertebral body of a patient with hormone refractory prostate cancer. The cells are reported to express large quantities of prostate specific antigen (PSA). This cell line also expresses prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), cytokeratin-18 and the androgen receptor, and is androgen sensitive in vitro and in vivo. This cell line offers a cell-based model system of human prostate cancer. The cells are tumourigenic in SCID mice.

What is the difference between TEM and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)?

The main difference between TEM and SEM lies in the imaging technique. While TEM passes electrons through a thin specimen to create an image, SEM scans a focused beam of electrons across the surface of a specimen to generate a 3D image. TEM provides higher resolution for internal structure analysis, while SEM is better suited for surface imaging.

Reliable

As a cancer biologist, the tumor cells I purchase from Creative Bioarray maintain their genetic and phenotypic characteristics, allowing me to study key pathways and mechanisms associated with tumors.
