*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

  • Name: MDA-MB-231 BRE-Luc/TK Renilla cell line
  • Tool sub type: Continuous
  • Parental cell: MDA-MB-231 cell line
  • Organism: Human
  • Tissue: Breast
  • Disease: Cancer
  • Model: Reporter
  • Conditional description: Luciferase is expressed in the presence of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling
  • Description: The human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-31 modified for use as a reporter cell line for bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling. The cell line stably expresses BMP responsive element (BRE)-Luciferase. The cell line also contains a Renilla reporter driven by the thymidine kinase (TK) promoter to act as an internal control. BMP is a transforming growth factor ? (TGF-?) superfamily member.
  • Production details: Made by transfecting the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-31 with BRE-Luciferase plasmid, TK Renilla plasmid and pRetroSuper for puromycin resistance. Clonal
  • Biosafety level: 1
  • Recommended controls: MDA-MB-231 parental line

Target Details

  • Target: Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling

Handling
