CELL LINES
Contributor Information
- Name Sarah-Maria Fendt
- Institute Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie (VIB)
Tool Details
- Tool name: MCF10A hRas_V12 cell line
- Alternate names: transforming protein p21, h-Ras, HRAS
- Tool type: Cell Lines
- Tool sub-type: Continuous
- Parental cell line: MCF10A
- Organism: Human
- Tissue: Breast
- Disease: Cancer
- Model: Cancer Model
- Conditional: No
- 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.
- Research area: Cancer
- Additional notes: There is a negative control for this cell line which was made using the same pLA vector but not expressing the HRAS gene.
- For Research Use Only
Target Details
- Target: HRas
Application Details
- Application notes: There is a negative control for this cell line which was made using the same pLA vector but not expressing the HRAS gene.
