Production details: The parental cell line for the MCF7/TAMR-1 cells is MCF7/S0.5, which was adapted to grow at low serum concentration in order to study the effect of estradiol and tamoxifen. MCF7/TAMR-1 has been established from a clone of cells that survived long term treatment with 1 uM tamoxifen. The establishment of the MCF7/TAMR-1 cell line, originally named AL-1, was first described in Lykkesfeldt et al (1986). Tamoxifen-resistant cells are passaged continuously in presence of 1 uM tamoxifen, which is le…
Additional notes: During the establishment process the treatment of MCF7/S0.5 cells with tamoxifen was started in passage 351. Few colonies of cells survived the treatment and after 28 days of tamoxifen treatment, tamoxifen was omitted from the medium for 22 days. After 19 passages without tamoxifen (passage 372) the cells underwent a second treatment with tamoxifen which initially reduced cell growth rate, but around 390-400 the growth rate of the tamoxifen resistant cell lines was close to the growth rate of…
