T47D/S2 Cell Line
Invented by Dr Anne Lykkesfeldt at Danish Cancer Society
Catalogue Number | 152110 |
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | Oestrogen receptor |
Parental Line | T47D/S2 |
Host | Human |
Tissue | Breast |
Disease Keywords | Breast carcinoma, tamoxifen-resistant |
Model | Tumour line |
Relevance | The T47D/TR-2 Cell line is a breast cancer cell line resistant to tamoxifen. Antiestrogen resistance is a major problem in breast cancer treatment. Therefore, the search for new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for antiestrogen resistance is crucial. This cell line allows the study of the mechanisms involved in tamoxifen resistant breast cancer cell growth. |
Production Details | The T47D/TR-2 cell line has been established by long term treatment of T47D/S2 cells with 1 µM tamoxifen. Clonal selection was performed in medium without tamoxifen. After growth in presence of 1 µM tamoxifen for 10 months, the growth rate was similar to the parental cells. |
Research Area | Cancer, Drug Discovery & Development |
Recommended Growing Conditions | Phenol red free RPMI 1640 + 2% FCS + glutamax + 8µg Insulin/ml + 1 uM tamoxifen |
Notes |
T47D/TR-2 cells are ER alpha positive and express progesterone receptor, although at reduced level compared to parental T7D/S2 cells. T47D/TR-2 are growth inhibited by fulvestrant. Passage 164 (AL3575, AL3576) |
