MCF-7 Cells. MCF-7 is a breast cancer cell line isolated in 1970 from a 69-year-old White woman. [1] MCF-7 is the acronym of Michigan Cancer Foundation-7, referring to the institute in Detroit where the cell line was established in 1973 by Herbert Soule and co-workers. [2]
Cancer cells are cells that divide continually, forming solid tumors or flooding the blood or lymph with abnormal cells.Cell division is a normal process used by the body for growth and repair.
The E-SCREEN cell proliferation assay is performed with the human MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, an established estrogenic cell line that endogenously expresses ERα. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Human MCF-7 are cultivated in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) with fetal bovine serum (FBS) and phenol red as buffer tracer (culture medium), at 37 ...

In the human genome, C-myc is located on chromosome 8 and is believed to regulate expression of 15% of all genes [7] through binding on enhancer box sequences . In addition to its role as a classical transcription factor, N-myc may recruit histone acetyltransferases (HATs). This allows it to regulate global chromatin structure via histone ...
The cancer stem cell model, also known as the Hierarchical Model proposes that tumors are hierarchically organized (CSCs lying at the apex [6] (Fig. 3).) Within the cancer population of the tumors there are cancer stem cells (CSC) that are tumorigenic cells and are biologically distinct from other subpopulations [7] They have two defining features: their long-term ability to self-renew and ...
(7) in vitro (a) or in vivo (b) multiplication (8) Excised spleen processed for antibody extraction Hybridoma cells grown in tissue culture. The image shows a single clone of cells each of which is producing large amounts of a specific monoclonal antibody which the cells secrete and which can be readily purified from the culture media.
What is the proper name for this? Is it MCF7 or MCF-7? The usgae is mixed in the article. -- Whpq 00:37, 30 July 2008 (UTC) In most papers the name is sited as MCF-7, but is commercially available as MCF7. So the proper use is unclear.Ddorn 1999 17:08, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
