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 Post-translational Modifications Assay
Short Description
MCF7-cell based In Vitro Post-translational Modifications Assay
Assay Description
Immunoassays and mass spectrometry techniques are considered ideal techniques for the detection of post-translational modification. Both the genetic and epigenetic modifications have contributed to the initiation and progression of cancer.
Assay Type
Gene and Protein Expression Assays
Assay Type Details
Following transcription, primary transcript RNA is converted into mature RNA by post-transcriptional modifications. Post-transcriptional modification includes three major steps namely the addition of a 5'cap, addition of a 3'polyadenylation tail and RNA splicing. Stability of RNA has been considered as very important for gene expression and proteins at the post-transcriptional level.
