Abstract excerpt
To develop an experimental prostate cancer model, we immortalized normal human prostate adult epithelial cells with SV40 large-T antigen. Two sublines were derived in culture, namely PNT1A and PNT1B. They retained the characteristics of prostate epithelial cells, but did not clone in soft agarose. PNT1A occasionally formed undifferentiated adenocarcinoma tumors in nude mice, but only in the presence of matrigel....
