Cell Line Name

T47D/TR-1

Cell Line Description

The T47D/TR-1 is a breast cancer cell line resistant to tamoxifen. The T47D/TR-1 cell line has been established by long term treatment of T47D/S2 cells with 1 µM tamoxifen. Clonal selection was performed in medium without tamoxifen. After growth in presence of 1 µM tamoxifen for 10 months, the growth rate was similar to the parental cells.T47D/TR-1 cells are ER alpha positive & express progesterone receptor, but at reduced level compared to parental T7D/S2 cells. T47D/TR-1 cells are growth inhibited by fulvestrant. Oestrogen receptor.

Applications

Anti-oestrogen resistance is a major problem in breast cancer treatment. Therefore, the search for new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for anti-oestrogen resistance is crucial. This cell line allows the study of the mechanisms involved in tamoxifen resistant breast cancer cell growth. T47D/TR-1 cells are ER alpha positive and express progesterone receptor, although at reduced level compared to parental T7D/S2 cells. T47D/TR-1 are growth inhibited by fulvestrant

The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.

Cultures supplied by Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line.
