MCF10A pLA(empty) (negCTRL for hRas_V12 cell line)

Tool Details

*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

• Name: MCF10A pLA(empty) (negCTRL for hRas_V12 cell line)
• Alternate name: transforming protein p21, h-Ras, H-Ras, HRAS
• Tool sub type: Continuous
• Parental cell: MCF10A
• Tissue: Breast
• Disease: Cancer
• Model: Cancer Model
• Description: 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. This is a control line for the MCF10 H-Ras12 cell line from the same group at the VIB as it has the same pLA expression vector stably expressed but lacking the HRAS gene.
• Biosafety level: 1
• Additional notes: This cell line is a negative control for the cell line overexpressing HRas. It was made using the same pLA vector but lacking the HRAS gene.

Target Details

• Target: HRas

Applications

• Application notes: This cell line is a negative control for the cell line overexpressing HRas. It was made using the same pLA vector but lacking the HRAS gene.
