Product description: The MCF7/TAMR-7 Cell line is a breast cancer cell line resistant to tamoxifen. The MCF7/TAMR-7 cell line is a good model cell to study the signalling pathways, which are the major drivers of tamoxifen-resistant growth.
Alternate name: MCF-7/TAMR-7; TAMR-7
Gender: Female
Conditional: Yes
Production details: The parental cell line for the MCF7/TAMR-7 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-7 has been established from a clone of cells that survived long term treatment with 1 uM tamoxifen. Tamoxifen-resistant cells are passaged continuously in presence of 1 uM tamoxifen, which is lethal for the parental MCF7/S0.5 cell line.
