“…Breast tumour-derived and normal breast-derived cell lines A total of 31 BCL were analysed: BT-20, BT-474, BT-483, CAMA-1, HCC38, HCC1500, HCC1937 (Tomlinson et al, 1998), HCC1954, HME-1, carcinosarcoma-derived Hs578T (Hackett et al, 1977), MCF-7, MCF10A, MDA-MB-134, MDA-MB-157, MDA-MB-175, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-453, SK-BR-3, SK-BR-7, T47D, UACC-812, ZR-75-1, ZR-75-30 (http://www.atcc.org/), HMEC-derived 184B5 (ATCC, http://www.atcc.org/), BrCa-MZ-01 (Mobus et al, 1998b), SUM-52, SUM-149, SUM-185, SUM-190, SUM-225 (Ethier et al, 1993;Forozan et al, 1999); http://www.cancer.med.umich.edu/breast_cell/production), and a recently established breast tumour cell line called S68, derived from a pleural effusion of an invasive ductal carcinoma (a kind gift from V. Catros, Cell Biology Department, CHU Rennes, France). All cell lines are derived from carcinomas except MCF-10A, which is derived from a fibrocystic disease, and HME-1 and 184B5, which represent normal mammary tissue.…”
