ZR-75-1 PDGFRB [ZR-PDGFRB (4147)] cell line

Breast cancer is widely and effectively treated with endocrine treatment. However, in advanced 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 human breast cancer cells. This cell line is part of a panel of 16 cell lines (Cat No 154621-154635, 154642) which have been transfected with these genes, plus the parental (Cat No 154547).
