MCF7 and anti-estrogen resistant derivatives (MCF7-T and MCF7-F) were maintained and established as we have previously described [30 (link)]. Briefly, MCF7-T cells were maintained in tamoxifen-containing media, except prior to drug treatment. The maintenance concentration of tamoxifen was 100 nM. MCF7/LCC2 and MCF7/LCC9 cells lines (anti-estrogen resistant) were derived and maintained as described by Brünner et al. [33 (link)]. Cell lines were authenticated in 2017 by ATCC and tested for mycoplasma contamination (Manassas, VA, USA). To ensure cell line integrity, all cell lines were thawed at frequent intervals and not used beyond 30 passages. Additionally, cell morphology was monitored for each cell line, and proper media and growth conditions selected [29 (link),30 (link)]. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was purchased from EMD Millipore (Billerica, MA, USA). Tamoxifen (Tamox or 4-OHT) was purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA).

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.
