- Description: SVCT-MI2 has been established from human breast epithelial cells being transfected with simian virus 40 (SV40) - a known oncogenic DNA virus in addition to a plasmid containing the neomycin gene and the human oncogene EJ Harvey-ras. This transformed epithelial cell line shows tumourigenicity in nude mice (post-selection of G418-resistant colonies). SVCT-MI2 enables molecular analysis of SV40 in human breast cancers.
- Application: Molecular analysis of SV40 in breast cancer
