Product description: T47D/S2 is an adherent human breast cancer cell line used as the parental control for the tamoxifen-resistant T47D/TR-1 and T47D/TR-2 cell lines. It was derived from the T47D line through adaptation to reduced serum conditions, enabling growth inhibition by tamoxifen. T47D/S2 displays a polygonal epithelial morphology and expresses both oestrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and progesterone receptor (PR). This cell line serves as a valuable model for investigating the mechanisms underlying tamoxifen resistance in hormone receptor–positive breast cancer.

Format: Frozen
Storage conditions: Liquid Nitrogen
Shipping conditions: Dry ice
Growth medium: Phenol red free RPMI 1640 + 2% FCS + glutamax + 8ug Insulin/ml. 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
