1. Place 10 mL of complete DMEM growth medium in a 50-mL conical tube. Thaw the frozen cryovial of cells within 1-2 minutes by gentle agitation in a 37 degree C water bath. Decontaminate the cryovial by wiping the surface of the vial with 70% (v/v) ethanol.
2. Transfer the thawed cell suspension to the conical tube containing 10 ml of growth medium.
3. Collect the cells by centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature. Remove the growth medium by aspiration.
4. Resuspend the cells in the conical tube in 15 mL of fresh growth medium by gently pipetting up and down.
5. Transfer the 15 mL of cell suspension to a T-75 tissue culture flask. Place the cells in a 37 degree C incubator at 5% CO2.
6. Monitor cell density daily. Cells should be passaged when the culture reaches 95% confluence.
2. Freeze Medium: 70% DMEM, 20% FBS, 10% DMSO.
Note: For best results begin culture of cells immediately upon receipt. If this is not possible, store at -80 degree C until first culture. Store subsequent cultured cells long term in liquid nitrogen.
The T-47 line was isolated in 1979 from a pleural effusion obtained from a 54 year old female patient with an infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast. This differentiated epithelial cell line was found to contain cytoplasmic junctions and receptors to 17 beta estradiol, other steroids and calcitonin. These cells exhibit epithelial morphology and form monolayers in culture. The cell line has abundant activity in both the Boyden chamber chemoinvasion and chemotaxis assay. The T47D cell line is also able to grow on agarose, an indicator of transformation and tumorigenicity, and displays a relatively high colony forming efficiency.
Our T47D/GFP cell line stably expresses GFP; the gene was introduced using lentivirus.

Product Notes
The T47D/GFP (Catalog #AAA168156) is a Cell Line and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "T47D/GFP, Cell Line" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
