Triple negative mda mb 436 human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cells

Sourced in United States

The Triple-negative MDA-MB-436 human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cells are a well-characterized cell line derived from a breast cancer tumor. This cell line is used for research purposes to study the biology and characteristics of triple-negative breast cancer, a subtype of breast cancer that lacks expression of the estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 protein.

Triple-negative MDA-MB-231 human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cells were from Caliper (Mechelen, Belgium; catalogue #119369). HER2+ SkBr3 human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cells (catalogue #HTB-30) and triple-negative MDA-MB-436 human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cells (catalogue #HTB-130) were from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). All cancer cell lines were originally derived from pleural effusions [24 (link),25 ,26 (link)]. MDA-MB-231 and SkBr3 cells were routinely cultured in DMEM containing 4.5 g/L glucose and GlutaMax (Thermofisher, Erembodegem, Belgium; catalogue #10566016) with 10% FBS, and MDA-MB-436 cells in IMDM containing GlutaMax (Thermofisher; catalogue #31980030) with 20% FBS. All cells were maintained at a subconfluent state in a humidified atmosphere with 95% room air, 5% CO2 at 37 °C. Cell authenticities were routinely verified with a short tandem repeat (STR) test (Eurofins Genomics, Ebersberg, Germany).

Triple-negative MDA-MB-231 human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cells were from Caliper (Mechelen, Belgium; catalogue #119369). HER2+ SkBr3 human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cells (catalogue #HTB-30), triple-negative MDA-MB-436 human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cells (catalogue #HTB-130) and MCF10A human nonmalignant breast epithelial cells (catalogue #CRL-10317) were from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). All cancer cell lines were originally derived from pleural effusions [27 (link),28 ,29 (link)]. MDA-MB-231 and SkBr3 cells were routinely cultured in DMEM containing 4.5 g/L glucose and GlutaMax (Thermofisher, Erembodegem, Belgium; catalogue #10566016) with 10% FBS; MDA-MB-436 in IMDM containing GlutaMax (Thermofisher; catalogue #31980030) with 20% FBS; and MCF10A in DMEM:F-12 (Thermofisher; catalogue #11320033) with 5% horse serum, 1 mM CaCl2, 10 mM HEPES, 10 µg/mL insulin, 20 ng/mL epithelial growth factor (EGF) and 0.5 µg/mL hydrocortisone. Cells in culture were maintained at a subconfluent state in a humidified atmosphere with 95% room air and 5% CO2, 37 °C. Cell authenticities were routinely verified with a short tandem repeat (STR) test (Eurofins Genomics, Ebersberg, Germany).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
