Human Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Through licensing agreements with the University of Michigan and the Karmanos Cancer Institute, Asterand provides 11 well characterized human breast cancer cell lines to assist in breast cancer research.

Ten SUM cell lines derived in Steve Ethier's lab while present at the University of Michigan are available for purchase. Each cell line, from a single patient, represents a different subtype of breast cancer. All of the currently known oncogenes with altered expression patterns in breast cancer, in various combinations, are represented and characterized in the SUM lines. These cell lines have been described in over 50 peer-reviewed publications, describing isolation and growth conditions, gene expression data through the use of Affymetrix GeneChips, and biomolecular markers, such as estrogen receptor and Her2 status.
