Cellosaurus 4T1 (CVCL_0125)

[Text version]
Cell line name 4T1
Synonyms 4T1-A; 4T1.0; 4T1/WT
Accession CVCL_0125
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: 4T1 (RRID:CVCL_0125)
Comments Characteristics: Metastatic.
Characteristics: Widely used model in cancer research due to its high similarity to human breast cancer. The tumor growth and metastatic spread of 4T1 cells closely mimic the behavior of human breast cancer. The 4T1 cell line is considered an animal model for stage IV human breast cancer, as it is able to spontaneously metastasize in both post-operative and non-surgical models (CLS=300300).
Doubling time: 12.6 hours (ATCC=CRL-2539).
Selected for resistance to: ChEBI; CHEBI:9555; Tioguanine (6-thioguanine; 6-TG).
Omics: Transcriptome analysis by microarray.
Derived from site: In situ; Mammary gland; UBERON=UBERON_0001911.
Disease Malignant neoplasms of the mouse mammary gland (NCIt: C21678)
Species of origin Mus musculus (Mouse) (NCBI Taxonomy: 10090)
Breed/subspecies: BALB/cfC3H.
