What is ATCC cell line?

What is ATCC cell line?

ATCC or the American Type Culture Collection is a nonprofit organization which collects, stores, and distributes standard reference microorganisms, cell lines and other materials for research and development.

What is PC3 prostate cancer?

PC3 (PC-3) is a human prostate cancer cell line used in prostate cancer research and drug development. PC3 cells are useful in investigating biochemical changes in advanced prostate cancer cells and in assessing their response to chemotherapeutic agents.

What is the size of A549 cells?

Results: (1) The diameter of A549 cells from inverted microscopy and TEM images was 14.93 μm and 10.59 μm. (2) By defining cell as reference space the volume densities (VV) of nucleus and cytoplasm were about 0.28 and 0.72; the surface densities (SV) of nucleus were 0.19 μm-1.

What agents does ATCC screen for?

In addition, ATCC stated “As of January 1, 2010, all human cell lines accessioned into the ATCC general collection are tested for the adventitious agents HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HPV, EBV, and CMV.

How do you freeze LNCaP cells?

What is the best way to freeze LNCaP cells? ATCC recommends complete medium plus 5% DMSO. some people use 10% DMSO, 20% FBS and rest complete medium. Some use 90% FBS and 10% DMSO.

What is the origin of PC3 cell line?

The PC3 cell line was originally derived from a bone metastasis of human prostatic adenocarcinoma origin (Kaighn, et al. 1979). Intravenous injection of PC3 (Pettaway et al. 1996; Shevrin, et al. 1988) has led to the establishment of lymph node metastases.

Why use ATCC cells for research?

Incredible discoveries and reproducible research results are only possible when you use credible cells for your experiments. To ensure your research is high quality, use authenticated ATCC cells. ATCC has the world’s largest and most extensive product catalog of human and animal cell lines for research purposes.

What is the difference between LNCaP and PC3 cells?

In in vitro assays, PC3 cells possess higher migratory capability than LNCaP cells. As a result, some researchers consider LNCaP and PC3 cells to represent less aggressive and more aggressive forms of prostatic adenocarcinoma, respectively.

What are ATCC hTERT-immortalized primary cells?

ATCC hTERT-immortalized primary cells also display normal in vivo biologies but have the added advantages of high proliferative capability, and the ability to be used at high passage.
