  • Description: Breast cancer is widely and effectively treated with endocrine treatment. However, in many disease cases the tumours will eventually progress into an estrogen-independent and therapy-resistant phenotype Seven genes including AKT1, AKT2, BCAR1, BCAR2, BCAR3, EGFR2 and GRB7 have been shown to directly underlie estrogen independence in MCF7A human breast cancer cells. This cell line is part of a panel of 4 cell lines (Cat No 154636-154638, 154643) which have been transfected with these genes, p...
