Product description: The T47D/TR-1 cell line is a tamoxifen-resistant derivative of the T47D human breast cancer cell line. It was developed by adapting T47D/S2 cells to 4-hydroxytamoxifen under reduced serum conditions to induce tamoxifen resistance. This adaptation results in a model that closely mimics the clinical progression of tamoxifen resistance in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. T47D/TR-1 cells maintain oestrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and progesterone receptor (PR) expression, characteristic of luminal A subtype breast cancer. They exhibit a polygonal epithelial morphology and are adherent in culture. The cell line serves as a valuable tool for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying tamoxifen resistance, facilitating the identification of potential therapeutic targets and strategies to overcome resistance.
Conditional: Yes
Production details: Human breast cancer cell line derived from T47D/S2 cells by long-term culture in the presence of 4-hydroxytamoxifen under reduced serum conditions to induce tamoxifen resistance.

Primary citation: Kirkegaard et al. 2014. Cancer Lett. 344(1):90-100. PMID: 24513268.
Format: Frozen
Storage conditions: Liquid Nitrogen
Shipping conditions: Dry ice
Growth medium: Phenol red free RPMI 1640 + 2% FCS + glutamax + 8ug Insulin/ml + 1 uM tamoxifen. Fetal Calf Serum (FCS) typically contains less estrogen than Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and is the preferred supplement for this cell line.
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.
Temperature: 37° C
Atmosphere: 5% CO2
Storage medium: 10% DMSO in FCS
Mycoplasma free: Yes
Biosafety level: 1
