|---|---|
| Derivation | The MCF-12A cell line is a non-tumorigenic epithelial cell line established from tissue taken at reduction mammoplasty from a nulliparous patient with fibrocystic breast disease that contained focal areas of intraductal hyperplasia. The line was produced by long term culture in serum free medium with low Ca++ concentration. MCF-12A was derived from adherent cells in the population. |
| Clinical Data | 60 years adult Caucasian female |
| Genes Expressed | epithelial mucin, milk fat globule membrane antigen, sialomucin |
| Cellular Products | epithelial mucin milk fat globule membrane antigen sialomucin |
| Tumorigenic | No |
| Effects | No, in immunosuppressed mice Yes, in semisolid medium. |
| Comments |
MCF-12A cells exhibit typical luminal epithelial morphology, three dimensional growth in collagen, and form domes in confluent cultures.
The cells are positive for epithelial cytokeratins 8, 14 and 18, and negative for cytokeratin 19. Cells derived from a floating population are available (see MCF-12F, ATCC CRL-10783).
