MADB106 Cell Line

General Information
Organism Rattus norvegicus, rat
Cell Line Description MADB106 is a homologous breast adenocarcinoma cell line derived from spontaneous lung metastases of breast tumors in Fischer 344 (F344) rats. It is one of the most widely recognized and used models for studying cancer metastasis biology, particularly "experimental metastasis" to the lungs. MADB106 cells exhibit an epithelial-like morphology and are known for their predictable and rapid colonization of the lungs after intravenous injection. This cell line is the preferred tool for studying the role of natural killer (NK) cells in controlling metastasis, assessing the effects of stress and anesthesia on tumor drug resistance, and testing the efficacy of immunomodulatory agents in immunocompetent mouse models.
Tissue Mammary gland; derived from metastatic site (Lung)
Disease Mammary Adenocarcinoma
Morphology Epithelial-like
Gender Female
Age Adult
Product Format Frozen
Growth Mode Adherent
Biosafety Level 1 (Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines)
Applications 1. Research on the molecular mechanisms of lung metastasis
2. Assessment of host immunity, especially NK cell-mediated tumor clearance
3. Research on the effects of surgical stress and neuroendocrine factors on metastasis
4. Preclinical screening of anti-metastatic drugs and immunotherapeutic drugs
5. Construction of a F344 rat homologous metastasis model
Shipped In Dry ice
Storage Temperature −196°C
Characteristics
Tumorigenic Yes, highly tumorigenic and metastatic in syngeneic Fischer 344 (F344) rats
Organ Tropism Exhibits high organ-specificity for pulmonary colonization
Growth Kinetics Rapid growth rate in vitro; lung colonies become visible 14–21 days post-injection
Phenotype Sensitive to NK cell-mediated lysis, making it a standard for NK-activity studies
Mycoplasma Test Negative
Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing 1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Quickly wash the cell layer with Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-free PBS buffer to remove all serum residue.
3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of 0.25% trypsin-0.53 mM EDTA solution and observe under an inverted microscope until the cell layer disperses (usually 3 to 7 minutes).
4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete culture medium and gently pipette until a single-cell suspension is obtained.
5. Aliquot the cell suspension into new culture dishes.
Medium Renewal 2 to 3 times per week
Subcultivation Ratio A split ratio of 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%; Temperature: 37°C
Cryopreservation Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% to 10% (v/v) DMSO
