Description

Description: SK-PN-DW has been derived from a male patient with a primitive neuroectodermal tumour that expresses cholecystokinin (cck) RNA and synthesises substantial amounts of pro-cck. SK-PN-DW is able to process the pro-hormone, producing immunoreactive cck-like material plus a peptide that immunochemically and chromatographically resembles intact cck c-terminal extension peptide. Cells have a tendency to float.
