- Description: AT-2 originates from the spontaneous tumor (R3327) of the prostate identified by W.F. Dunning in a 22 month-old inbred Copenhagen male rat in 1961. R3327 has been maintained by continuous serial passage in rats for many years. AT-2 was identified in 1981 and was the second of such anaplastic tumors to arise. Following subcutaneous transplantation in syngeneic male rats, AT-2 forms solid sheets of malignant cells with no indication of glandular function. These tumors are androgen-independent and grow continuously with a doubling time of approximately 2.5 days. AT-2 exhibits a low to moderate metastatic ability (<20% of rats inoculated sub-cutaneously develop distant metastases). The AT-2 subline can be used to study the effects of various types of cancer therapies on prostate cells.
