General description

Metastasizing (stage IV) breast cancers have the lowest survival rate among all stages of breast cancer. Metastases may take on a range of morphologies in their new locations, complicating diagnosis and decisions on courses of treatment. Tumor cell lines that mimic the in vivo behavior of metastasizing cancers are thus critical tools in breast cancer research.
TS/A is a highly metastatic mouse mammary adenocarcinoma cell line exhibiting a marked degree of morphological heterogeneity in culture, with a range of differentiated cell types from epithelial-like to fibroblast-like (1). TS/A cells express estrogen receptor and colony-stimulating factor and are negative for the adhesion protein ICAM-1 (2,3). The TS/A cell line is a well-characterized and highly published model for tumor metastasis and heterogeneity and is a popular tool for studies of immunological gene therapy (4,5). It may also be used as a syngeneic mouse model of breast cancer.

The TS/A cell line was isolated from a mammary adenocarcinoma that arose spontaneously in a BALB/c female mouse (1).

We investigated the presence of colony-stimulating factor (CSF) in supernatants obtained from TS/A, a new metastatic murine cell line, and from its high-and low-metastatic clonal derivatives (E and F clones, respectively). TS/A cells produced a CSF in vitro that induced

To evaluate the efficacy of vaccinations with cytokine-gene-transduced tumor cells, BALB/c mice were challenged with 1 x 10(5) parental cells of a syngeneic adenocarcinoma cell line (TSA-pc). No protection was observed in mice immunized 30 days earlier with 1 x

Here, we describe an immunofluorescence (IF) microscopy-based approach to quantify cytosolic double-stranded DNA molecules in cultured eukaryotic cells upon the selective and specific permeabilization of plasma membranes. This technique is compatible with widefield microscopy coupled with automated image analysis for

Although the transfection of B7-1 cDNA into a few mouse tumor cell lines can induce anti-tumor T cell immunity, its expression alone is ineffective in many other tumor cell lines tested. We were interested to study what factors limit B7-1

A metastasizing mouse cell line (TS/A), originated from a mammary adenocarcinoma which arose spontaneously in a BALB/c female retired breeder, has been established in vitro. It displayed a remarkable morphologic heterogeneity, which is evident in plastic adherent cultures (cell types
