4T1 Cell Line | CL-0007

4T1 Cell Line | CL-0007 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition

Media: CM-0007

Organism: Mus musculus, Mouse

Application: The tumor growth and metastatic spread of 4T1 cells in BALB/c mice very closely mimic human breast cancer. This tumor is an animal model for stage IV human breast cancer. 4T1-induced tumors can be used as a post-operative model as well as a non-surgical m

Background: When injected into BALB/c mice, 4T1 spontaneously produces highly metastatic tumors that can metastasize to the lung, liver, lymph nodes and brain while the primary tumor is growing in situ. The primary tumor does not have to be removed to induce metastatic growth. Because 4T1 is resistant to 6-thioquanine, micro-metastatic cells (as few as 1) can be detected in many distant site organs with better accuracy that most tumor models.

Age: N/A

Tissue: Mammary gland

Morphology: Epithelial

Growth Properties: Adherent

Doubling Time: N/A

Biosafty: 1

Medium: RPMI-1640(PM150110)+10% FBS+1% P/S(PB180120)

Subculturing: Remove and discard culture medium. Briefly rinse the cell layer with DPBS solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor. Add 1.0 to 2.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 2 to 3 minutes). Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal. Add 4.0 to 6.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
