EMT6 (Mammary Carcinoma)

Description

EMT6 (ATCC® CRL-2755™) is a murine mammary carcinoma cell line derived from a transplanted hyperplastic alveolar nodule of a BALB/c mouse¹. In syngeneic mice, EMT6 cells form tumors and spontaneous metastases, primarily to the lungs^2,3. More recently, EMT6 has emerged as a valuable pre-clinical model for immuno-oncology studies of triple negative breast cancer. EMT6 tumors express PD-L1 and are moderately responsive to immunotherapies. Individual checkpoint inhibitors (anti-CTLA-4 or anti-PD-L1) generally have modest effect on tumor growth, while combination therapies exhibit greater success^4-7, making EMT6 a beneficial model for combination therapy studies.

Imanis EMT6 Reporter Cell Lines

• Facilitate in vivo tracking using firefly luciferase (Fluc)
• Expedite precise post mortem analysis using enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP)
• Stably express* high-levels of reporter genes for bright detection of less cells.

* Imanis cell lines are generated by lentiviral vector transduction with self-inactivating (SIN) vectors⁸.
