MDA-MB-231/EGFP_Cytochrome c

Stably expressing single cell clones with homogeneous expression of Cytochrome c_EGFP were isolated for high resolution imaging. The expression and functionality of exogenous Cytochrome c_EGFP was confirmed through fluorescence microscopy by its release upon apoptotic stimulus.

Product description: The product is a human breast carcinoma cell line MDA-MB-231, transfected to stably express the protein cytochrome c (cyt-c) tagged with EGFP. The EGFP-tag enables easy identification of the cyt-c release in live cells upon apoptotic induction. The cell line can be utilized for studying the apoptosis process and to screen of potential candidate drugs that induce apoptosis.
