  • Name: MDA-MB-231 D3H2LN-Luc TetOn-3G cell line
  • Tool sub type: Continuous
  • Parental cell: MDA-MB-231 D3H2LN-Luc
  • Organism: Human
  • Tissue: Breast
  • Disease: Cancer
  • Growth properties: Adherent cell line
  • Model: Reporter
  • Conditional: Yes
  • Conditional description: When a gene of interest is introduced under the control of the tetracycline (Tet)-regulated transactivator Tet-On 3G expression can be induced by administration of doxycycline. Luciferase expression is non-conditional.
  • Description: This cell line contains a tetracyline inducible promoter construct ready for cloning in a gene of interest. The cell line is a derivative of a human breast cancer cell line shown to reliably metastasize to clinically relevant sites (the lungs and lymph nodes) when implanted orthotopically in mice (i.e. when implanted in the breast pad of mice). The cell line expresses luciferase enabling detection of the location of the cells using bioluminescent imaging. Unbekandt et al., 2014 introduced the...
