Product description: This cell line overexpresses HER2 which is expressed at low levels in normal breast tissues but is overexpressed in a subset of breast and ovarian cancers. The GFP is in the same construct as the inducible HER2 but both genes are regulated by two different promoters. GFP expression is under the control of a weak EF1 promoter whereas the HER2 is induced by a strong TRE promoter.
Gender: Female
Conditional: Yes
Conditional description: Conditional HER2 expression under tetracyline response element (TRE) regulated by the addition of doxycyline in breast epithelial cell line (MCF10A)
Production details: Inducible HER2 construct was stably transduced in MCF10A cell line using a third generation lentiviral transduction system.
Parental cell line: MCF10A
disease: Cancer
Format: Frozen
Shipping conditions: Dry ice
