Human Bob Cell Line

• Description:

  First spontaneously Immortalised prostate cancer cell line to be established from a trans-rectal needle biopsy (TRBP) of a patient with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Bob is a novel pre-clinical model for functional studies in CRPC and especially for studying the CRPC "basal" phenotype.It is a known phenomenon that due to the increased genetic instability of cancer cell lines the Y chromosome can be rearranged or lost resulting in lack of detection. The cell line is identical to the source provided by the depositor based on the STR-PCR analysis.
