Product description: UM-UC-14 are a human transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis. These cells were assessed for their susceptibility to adenoviral mediated gene delivery, tumour growth in nude mice and differences in genetic alterations. Tumorigenicity studies in nude mice revealed the UM-UC-14 produced tumours, 1-1.5 cm in diameter in < 3 weeks. This cell line demonstrated efficient gene transduction via an adenoviral vector when compared to several of the other cells evaluated. UM-UC-14 also demonstrated one of the highest levels of Coxsackie adenovirus receptor expression of the cells tested. These assays allowed for characterization of some of the most important features in each of the respective lines in an effort to more accurately establish commonly observed phenomena across cells of the same type of neoplasm.
