General description

The AT-3 cell line was isolated from an autologous mammary tumor from cells originating in a transgenic MTAG mouse model . Mammary tumors arising in MTAG mice closely mimic changes observed in human breast carcinomas over the course of disease progression . AT-3 cells are a useful mouse model for studies of tumor physiology that are representative of typical disease states in humans.

Source:
The AT-3 cell line was derived from primary mammary tumor cells of a transgenic MTAG mouse. The MTAG mouse model expresses the polyoma virus middle T antigen under control of the MMTV-LTR promoter .

Note: AT-3 cells demonstrate diverse morphologies in culture.
Tumor-induced immunosuppression is a common phenomenon in cancer and an important consideration for cancer immunotherapy. However, most studies on tumor-induced immunosuppression rely on tumor implant models, in which the disease progresses rapidly and usually causes non-physiological host responses that do not recapitulate normal tumor development and progression . Models that generate autochthonous tumors are therefore valuable for providing more physiologically-relevant systems for investigating tumor-host interactions and longer-term immunosuppressive effects.

Ag-specific and generalized forms of immunosuppression have been documented in animal tumor models. However, much of our knowledge on tumor-induced immunosuppression was acquired using tumor implant models, which do not reiterate the protracted nature of host-tumor interactions. Therefore, a transgenic
