I am looking for an orthotopic prostate cancer cell line model that can be applied for a cancer immunotherapy research. Basically one that induces high macrophage infiltration would be better. Looking forward to your suggestions.
Metastatic sublines of PC-3 have been developed by injecting cells into nude mice via different routes, especially orthotopically, and this process can be readily followed by using PC-3 cells expressing luciferase. References as below:
