Comparative Genomic and Transcriptomic Analyses of LNCaP and C4-2B Prostate Cancer Cell Lines
The LNCaP and C4-2B cell lines form an excellent preclinical model to study the development of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, since C4-2B cells were derived from a bone metastasis that grew in nude mice after inoculation with the LNCaP-derived, castration-resistant C4-2 cells. Exom...
