Cat.No.
CSC-I9180L
Description
The Immortalized Mouse Mammary Epithelial Cells (iMMEC) is derived by co-expression of adenovirus E1A and dominant-negative p53 (p53DD). This cell line is unique in that 1) it expresses surface markers, including estrogen-receptor alpha (ERα) and retains the functional properties characteristic to mammary epithelial cell and 2) upon lactogenic stimulation it forms dome-like structures indicative of mammary alveoli and secrets β-catenin into the acinar lumen. This cell line is suitable for studies in hormone regulation and 3D dimensional ductal morphogenesis.

Quality Control
1. Western blot was used to confirm the presence of E1A and p53DD gene in the immortalized cell line.
2. Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to check gene expression of β-catenin, E-cadherin, Ep-CAM, CK8, CK18 and ERα.
