- Description: VCaP cells are androgen-sensitive human prostate adenocarcinoma cells established in 1997 from a vertebral bone metastasis from a 59-year-old Caucasian male with hormone refractory prostate cancer. This cell line is commonly used for prostate cancer research. The cell line is a clonal population of VCaP cells grown in steroid-depleted conditions for ~4 months. Cells adapted to growth conditions and are now routinely grown in media lacking testosterone
