Description
The MCF7/TAMR-7 Cell line is a breast cancer cell line resistant to tamoxifen. Tamoxifen is by far the most widely used drug for hormone-dependent breast cancer. However, primary or acquired resistance to Tamoxifen severely limits its clinical effectiveness. The MCF7/TAMR-7 cell line is a good model cell to study the signalling pathways, which are the major drivers of tamoxifen-resistant growth.
The parental cell line for the MCF7/TAMR-7 cells is MCF7/S0.5, which was adapted to grow at low serum concentration in order to study the effect of estradiol and tamoxifen. MCF7/TAMR-7 has been established from a clone of cells that survived long term treatment with 1 µM tamoxifen. Tamoxifen-resistant cells are passaged continuously in presence of 1 µM tamoxifen, which is lethal for the parental MCF7/S0.5 cell line

What should I do if my cells are contaminated with black bug in cell culture?

Change the culture medium every day and rinse with PBS. The small black spots in the cells may gradually decrease and eventually disappear.
