FR37-CMT Cells are isolated from female dogs undergoing biopsies for mammary tumors. The cells are tumorigenic and have the loss of contact inhibition. FR37-CMT cells express cancer-related genes such as ESR1, ERBB2, and PGR. Additionally, genes related to the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) process such as the gain of vimentin and the loss of E-cadherin. They are capable of proliferating in vitro for a consistent source of cells for research development in canine mammary tumor (CMT) biology. It is a valuable tool for future developments in therapies targeted towards CMT.

The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 mug, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 mug, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final. 4. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping). 5.

Propagation
Use of PriCoatTM T25 Flasks (G299) or Applied Cell Extracellular Matrix (G422) is required for cell adhesion to the culture vessels. Grow cells in ECM-coated culture vessels unless otherwise specified in the Propagation Requirements below.The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow III medium available at abm, Cat. No. TM003. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (TM999) to a final concentration of 10% and Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution (G255) to a final concentration of 1%.Change media every 2-3 days.Carbon dioxide (CO2): 5%, Temperature: 37.0°C.
Quality Control
1) PCR was utilized to analyze the presence of canine genes cOR9S13 and PRCD. 2) Western blot was used to determine the molecular markers in FR37-CMT cells compared to MCF-7 cells.
