MuCaP379AP is derived from the same primary PSA-Cre targeted Pten KO tumor as MuCaP379.1 but exhibits distinct characteristics. Cells?re distinguished by their ability to form mixed carcinoma/sarcomatoid carcinoma growth patterns when injected subcutaneously.?uCaP379AP forms syngeneic tumors with a slower growth rate, taking 4-5 months to develop noticeable tumors in immunocompetent mice.?his characteristic makes them particularly useful for in vivo studies that require an accurate representation of the histological heterogeneity observed in human prostate cancer. Histologically, MuCaP379AP tumors show a mix of adenocarcinoma and sarcomatoid carcinoma patterns. This cell line has a pronounced immune profile with higher expressions of CD20+ B-cells and CD3+ T-cells compared to faster-growing counterparts. MuCaP379AP is ideal for studying the interplay between tumor growth rates, immune cell infiltration, and the effectiveness of immune-targeted therapies in prostate cancer.The distinct advantage of these cells is their ability to model both epithelial and mesenchymal characteristics of prostate cancer, thus offering a comprehensive tool for cancer research.Additional cell lines from the?uCaP model:Cat.

Disclaimer
1. All test parameters provided in the CoA are conducted using abm's standardized culture system and procedures. The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 ?g, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 ?g, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final. 2. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping). 3.

Notes
1. Visually examine the packaging containers for signs of leakage or breakage. 2. Immediately transfer frozen cells from dry ice packaging to a temperature below -130?, preferably in liquid nitrogen vapor phase storage, until ready for use.To ensure the highest level of viability, thaw the vial and initiate culture as soon as possible upon receipt. If continued storage is desired, the vial should only be stored below -130? or in liquid nitrogen vapor phase. Do not store at -70?, as it will result in loss of viability.

Product Use
This product is intended for laboratory research use only. It is not intended for any animal or human therapeutic use, any human or animal consumption, or any diagnostic use.
Storage
Vapor phase of liquid nitrogen, or below -130?.
Thawing Protocol
1. Thaw cells quickly in a 37? water bath while agitating gently (maximum 2 minutes). The vial cap should be kept above the water level to minimize the risk of contamination. 2. Decontaminate the vial by spraying and wiping the exterior of the vial with 70% ethanol. From this point onwards, all operations should be strictly carried out inside a biological safety cabinet using aseptic conditions. 3. Transfer the cell suspension into a 15ml sterile conical tube containing 5ml of pre-warmed, complete growth media. Centrifuge cells at 125xg for 5-7 minutes. 4. Aspirate the supernatant without disturbing the cell pellet. Re-suspend the cell pellet in the recommended pre-warmed, complete growth media and dispense into a T25 culture flask. 5. Incubate the cells at the recommended conditions.
Subculture Protocol
Volumes given below are for a T75 flask; proportionally increase or decrease the volume as required per culture vessel size. Subculture cells once the culture vessel is 80% confluent. 1. Aspirate the culture media, and add 2-3ml of pre-warmed 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA to the culture vessel. 2. Observe the cells under a microscope to confirm detachment (typically within 2-10 minutes). Cells that are difficult to detach can be put in 37?, for several minutes to facilitate detachment. 3. Neutralize Trypsin-EDTA by adding an equal volume of the complete growth media into the culture vessel. 4. Transfer the culture suspension into a sterile centrifuge tube, and centrifuge at 125xg for 5 minutes. The actual centrifuge duration and speed may vary depending on the cell type. 5. Aspirate the supernatant, and re-suspend the pellet with pre-warmed fresh complete growth media. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels, as desired. 6. Incubate the cells at the recommended conditions.
