“…Cell lines 184 (Stampfer and Bartley, 1985) and 184B5 (Walen and Stampfer, 1989) were derived from non malignant breast epithelial cells; BT-483 (Lasfargues et al, 1978), MCF-7M (Soule et al, 1973), MDA ± MB-134 (Cailleau et al, 1974), MDA ± MB-361 (Cailleau et al, 1978) and T-47D (Keydar et al, 1979) cell lines originated from estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer cells; BT-20 (Lasfargues and Ozzello, 1958), BT-549 (Lasfargues et al, 1978), MDA ± MB-231 (Cailleau et al, 1974), SK-BR-3 (Trempe and Fogh, 1973) cell lines originated from ER negative breast cancer cells. The HBL-100 cell line is an ER negative transformed cell line, originating from normal lactating breast (Caron de Fromentel et al, 1985).…”
