BT-474 is a human breast cancer cell line established from primary tumors of breast cancer patients. The BT474 cell line has several properties that make it a useful tool in cancer research. It can grow in culture and exhibit many of the same properties as breast cancer cells found in patients. Researchers used the BT-474 cell line to study the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer, including genes and pathways involved in cancer cell growth, invasion and metastasis. The BT-474 cell line is also used to test the efficacy of various cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy and targeted therapy. The GFP stable cell line-BT474 is generated by transforming BT474 cells with a plasmid carrying the GFP gene, resulting in stable integration of the gene into the genome of the BT474 cells. The GFP stable cell line-BT474 enables researchers to monitor the in vitro and in vivo behavior of BT474 subtype breast cancer cells under a variety of experimental conditions. GFP fluorescence provides a real-time, non-invasive indication of cell status, allowing for continuous monitoring and analysis. It can be used to study proliferation, migration, invasion and protein localization as well as other cellular functions in living organisms or populations of living cells in real time. Therefore, the GFP stable cell line-BT474 is a valuable tool in various areas of biomedical research, including cancer biology, drug discovery and development, cell biology, and preclinical research.
GFP stable cell line-BT474 has a wide range of applications in the field of biological research, especially in the fields of cancer research, cell biology and gene expression research. The following are potential uses for this cell line: Drug testing: This cell line can be used to screen and test the efficacy and toxicity of potential anti-cancer drugs. The survival rate of GFP-expressing cells can be a direct indicator of drug toxicity. Tumor growth and metastasis studies: BT474 cells are widely used in breast cancer research because they are derived from human breast ductal carcinoma. They are often used to study tumor growth and metastasis. Gene expression studies: This GFP cell line can be used to study gene expression and regulation. By inserting a specific gene into the GFP sequence, researchers can track the expression of that gene by observing GFP fluorescence. Protein-protein interaction studies: These cells can fluoresce when proteins bind to GFP, making them valuable in studies of protein-protein interactions. Cell biology research: GFP stable cell line-BT474 can be used to study various cellular processes, including cell division, differentiation and apoptosis, by observing the fluorescence of GFP.
