Comments

Problematic cell line: Contaminated. Shown to be a MCF-7 derivative (https://tsar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/test-method/tm2016-09). Originally thought to be a BG1 (Cellosaurus=CVCL_6570) derivative.
Population: Caucasian.
Biotechnology: Cell line developed for VM7Luc ER TA (VM7Luc Estrogen Receptor TransActivation) bioassay which was formerly known as BG1Luc ER TA (BG1Luc Estrogen Receptor TransActivation).
Biotechnology: Used in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) detection of estrogenic/antiestrogenic chemicals test method 457 (DOI=10.1787/9789264185395-en).
Characteristics: Emits measurable light in response to estrogen and estrogen-like substances. Used for identifying estrogen receptor agonists and antagonists.
Characteristics: Acts through the activation of a luciferase reporter gene under the control of estrogen response elements (EREs) upstream of the mouse mammary tumor viral (MMTV) promoter.
Genetic integration: Method=Transfection/transduction; Gene=UniProtKB; P08659; Firefly luciferase.
Derived from site: Metastatic; Pleural effusion; UBERON=UBERON_0000175.
