E006AA is a spontaneously Immortalised cell line derived from a Gleason 6 localized prostate cancer in a hormone-naive prostate cancer patient of African American descent. This cell line grows equally well when xenografted into either intact or castrated male NOG-SCID mice and is non-tumorigenic in nude mice. E006AA should be used in parallel with E006AA-ht for modeling the early stages of prostate cancer.
