CELL LINES

Contributor Information
- Name Anne Lykkesfeldt
- Institute Danish Cancer Society
Tool Details
- Tool name: T47D/TR-2 Cell Line
- Tool type: Cell Lines
- Tool sub-type: Continuous
- Parental cell line: T47D/S2
- Organism: Human
- Tissue: Breast
- Cancer type: Breast cancer
- Disease: Cancer
- Model: Tumour line
- Conditional: Yes
- Application: T47D/TR-2 cells are ER alpha positive and express progesterone receptor, although at reduced level compared to parental T7D/S2 cells.
- Description: The T47D/TR-2 Cell line is a breast cancer cell line resistant to tamoxifen. Antiestrogen resistance is a major problem in breast cancer treatment. Therefore, the search for new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for antiestrogen resistance is crucial. This cell line allows the study of the mechanisms involved in tamoxifen resistant breast cancer cell growth.
- Research area: Cancer; Drug development
- Production details: The T47D/TR-2 cell line has been established by long term treatment of T47D/S2 cells with 1 ÄÂ??M tamoxifen. Clonal selection was performed in medium without tamoxifen. After growth in presence of 1 ÄÂ??M tamoxifen for 10 months, the growth rate was similar to the parental cells.
- Cellosaurus ID: CVCL_1D37
- For Research Use Only
Target Details
- Target: Oestrogen receptor
Application Details
- Application: T47D/TR-2 cells are ER alpha positive and express progesterone receptor, although at reduced level compared to parental T7D/S2 cells.
- Application notes: T47D/TR-2 cells are ER alpha positive and express progesterone receptor, although at reduced level compared to parental T7D/S2 cells. T47D/TR-2 are growth inhibited by fulvestrant. Passage 164 (AL3575, AL3576)
