Product description: Breast cancer cell line MCF7 stably expressing EGFP-LC3 for use as an autophagy sensor.
Gender: Female
CRISPR: No
Conditional: No
Production details: The product is a human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF7, transfected to stably express the protein MAP1LC3B tagged with EGFP. Single cell clones with homogeneous expression of the fusion protein were developed thorough colony selection and flow sorting. The EGFP-tag enables easy identification and affinity purification of the recombinant protein. The cell line can be utilized for studying the autophagy process and to screen of potential candidate drugs that induce autophagy. Stably exp…

Initial handling information: Resuscitation: Rapidly thaw the frozen ampoule in a water bath at 37?‚°C for 1-2 minutes. Transfer the contents to a centrifuge tube and slowly add 5-10ml of pre-warmed growth media. Remove a sample for counting. Centrifuge at 100-150g for 2-3 minutes to pellet cells (a centrifugation step to remove the cryoprotectant is essential. Seed at the recommend density, e.g. greater than 10,000 cells per cm2.
