- Description: T47D/S5 is an adherent human breast cancer cell line used as the parental control for the fulvestrant (Faslodex)-resistant T47D/182R-1 and T47D/182R-2 cell lines. It exhibits a polygonal epithelial morphology and expresses both estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and progesterone receptor (PR). T47D/S5 serves as a critical reference model for studying the molecular mechanisms driving resistance to fulvestrant and supports comparative analyses of endocrine responsiveness in hormone receptor–positive breast cancer.
- Application: Determining molecular mechanisms around fulvestrant resistance
- Production details: Human breast cancer cell line derived from T47D cell line that has been grown without phenol red, supplemented with 5% FCS, 2mM Glutamax and 8ug/ml insulin.
- Biosafety level: 1
- Cellosaurus id: CVCL_1D46
Target Details
- Target: Oestrogen receptor
Applications
- Application: Determining molecular mechanisms around fulvestrant resistance
Handling
- Format: Frozen
- Passage number: Passage 155 (AL3043, AL3044)
- Growth medium: Phenol red free RPMI 1640 + 5% FCS + glutamax + 8ug Insulin/ml. Fetal Calf Serum (FCS) typically contains less estrogen than Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and is the preferred supplement for this cell line.
- Temperature: 37° C
- Atmosphere: 5% CO2
- Unit size: 1x10^6 cells / vial
- Shipping conditions: Dry ice
- Storage medium: 10% DMSO in FCS
- Subculture routine: Following thawing and counting, dilute the cell suspension with sufficient medium and distribute 5 mL each into T25 flasks to achieve a seeding density of 1.8 - 2.0 x 10^4 / cm2. Place in 37°C, 5% CO₂ incubator. Change medium after 24 hours to remove residual DMSO and then every 2-3 days. Subculture routine: Split 1:7 weekly (slow growing cell line) with Trypsin-EDTA for detachment at 37 °C for 5 minutes. Please also see detailed protocol within the Product Datasheet in the Documentation section below.
