Cell Line Origin
Human primary pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Cell Line Description
Derived from a 61 year old female with a primary adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. BxPC-3 cells produce mucin and the tumour produced in a nude mouse is moderately well to poorly differentiated like the primary adenocarcinoma.
Application
BXPC3 cell line has been used to determine the biological and therapeutic importance of gastrin gene expression in pancreatic adenocarcinomas.
