Millipore's Prostate Cell line, when grown in our recommended medium, provides an ideal serum-free culture model, without retinoic acid, for the study of prostate cells. Common uses for these cells are studies of hormonal regulation of the prostate, regulation and control of the secretory function of prostate cells and as a control for the study of prostate cancer. These cells are not exposed to antimicrobials or phenol red when cultured in EpiGRO™ Prostate Complete Media Kit. Prostate Cells are cryopreserved at passage 2 to ensure highest viability and plating efficiency.
