Sigma-Aldrich Product Name G, 94101453 biological source rat prostate growth mode Adherent karyotype

Rat Dunning R-3327,prostate adenocarcinoma

Derived from a Dunning R-3327 rat with prostatic adenocarcinoma. G is one of a group of variants which developed by a single in vivo passage. It is androgen responsive, moderately fast growing and poorly differentiated. Using this system of rat prostatic adenocarcinomas as a model, it has been demonstrated that prostatic cancer cells can become unstable at any time resulting in the addition of cytogenetically and phenotypically novel clones of cancer cells to the cancer population.
