EB 33, an epithelial cell line from human prostate carcinoma: a review

The cell line EB 33 was cultivated from the tissue of a human prostate adenocarcinoma in June 1973. Since that time, efforts have been made by scientists in several laboratories to characterize this line by morphologic, biochemical, endocrinologic, genetic, and immunologic parameters. The great need for a well-defined prostatic cell line for immunologic experimentation warrants a complete review of the subject.
