SK-BR-3 cells were derived from pleural effusion caused by breast cancer in a 43-year-old white female patient, and overexpressed the HER2/neu product, which is believed to be related to various breast cancer proliferation pathways. SK-BR-3 cells are known to grow in grape-like clusters and have an invasive phenotype similar to cells in vivo. SK-BR-3 cells have been used in studies seeking to overcome trastuzumab resistance in breast cancer that overexpresses human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. The RFP reporter cell line – SK-BR-3 is a valuable tool for researchers studying cancer biology, specifically the progression and mechanisms of breast cancer. One of the key features of this cell line is the incorporation of red fluorescent protein (RFP), which enables live cell imaging and real-time tracking of cellular processes. RFP, like GFP, maintains its fluorescence without the need for added cofactors or substrates, making it particularly convenient for use in a variety of experimental settings. The RFP reporter gene is stably integrated into the SK-BR-3 cell line, ensuring its consistent expression and subsequent generation of bright red fluorescence - a feature that can be exploited in a variety of experimental settings. These cells exhibit strong RFP signals that allow easy detection and rapid data collection.
RFP Reporter Cell Line - SK-BR-3 is a powerful resource used in a variety of applications including biomedical research, drug discovery, and cell biology research. Cancer research: The SK-BR-3 cell line has human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression, making it an important model for studying HER2-positive breast cancer. They are used to study the proliferation, invasion and metastasis mechanisms of breast cancer cells and to screen potential therapeutic targets. Drug discovery: The SK-BR-3 cell line is used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of new pharmaceutical compounds. They are important tools for preclinical screening of anticancer drugs. RFP Reporter enables real-time imaging of cell lineages, significantly accelerating the drug discovery process by monitoring drug responses at the cellular level. Cell biology research: The RFP Reporter Cell Line - SK-BR-3 is also used in basic cell biology research, including the study of cell signaling pathways, protein interactions, gene expression, and cellular responses to environmental conditions. Gene therapy research: SK-BR-3 RFP reporter cells can be used in the development and testing of gene therapy drugs. Cancer vaccine development: SK-BR-3 RFP reporter cells play an important role in the production of cancer vaccines where they can help monitor vaccine effectiveness at the cellular level in real time.
