Target Cell Name
MCF7
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
MCF-7 is a breast cancer cell line isolated in 1970 from a 69-year-old White woman. MCF-7 is the acronym of Michigan Cancer Foundation-7, referring to the institute in Detroit where the cell line was established in 1973 by Herbert Soule and co-workers. MCF7 are epithelial cells isolated from the breast tissue of a 69-year-old, White, female patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma. Use these cells in your breast cancer research.

In Vitro High Content Screening (HCS) Assay
Short Description
MCF7-cell based In Vitro High Content Screening (HCS) Assay
Assay Description
HCS is one of the latest techniques used in cancer drug discovery programs. Unlike traditional HTS platforms, HCS provides more visual information about the experiment being conducted. HCS is a very powerful tool for multivariate and quantitative data analysis. Cellbased HCS systems have also gained much attention in biological research and cancer drug discovery programs.
