| Catalogue Number | 156525 |
| Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | HRas |
| Parental Line | MCF10A |
| Synonyms | transforming protein p21, h-Ras, HRAS |
| Host | Human |
| Tissue | Breast |
| Disease Keywords | Cancer |
| Model | Cancer Model |
| Relevance | MCF10A cells are frequently used to study signalling pathways in breast cancer. They can be grown in 3D culture. The addition of the H-Ras12 simulates breast cancer as 50% of breast cancers display increased H-Ras activity. |
| Conditional | No |
| Research Area | Cancer |
| Recommended Growing Conditions | DMEM-F12 supplemented with 5% horse serum, 1% penicillin (50 units ml−1), 1% streptomycin (50 μg ml−1), 0.5 μg ml−1 hydrocortisone, 100 ng ml−1 cholera toxin, 10 μg ml−1 insulin and 20 ng ml−1 recombinant human EGF. |
| Notes | There is a negative control for this cell line which was made using the same pLA vector but not expressing the HRAS gene. |
