General information
| Description | EO771 is a murine mammary cancer cell line derived from spontaneous tumors in C57BL/6 mice. This line serves as an important preclinical model for studying breast cancer in an immunocompetent setting, due to its compatibility with syngeneic C57BL/6 mouse models. These models facilitate the exploration of interactions between tumor cells and the immune system, providing insights into tumor growth and metastasis. EO771 cells are classified as luminal B subtype, characterized by being estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) negative, estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) positive, progesterone receptor positive, and ErbB2 (HER2) positive. This classification aligns with luminal B tumors found in humans, which often have poorer prognoses compared to luminal A types. EO771's luminal B status makes it relevant for investigating hormonal therapy responses; studies have shown the cell line's sensitivity to anti-estrogen treatments such as tamoxifen and other selective estrogen receptor modulators. In addition to its phenotypic traits, EO771 has proven useful for studies on tumor metastasis and immune response modulation. Its metastatic behavior mirrors that of human breast cancer, with frequent dissemination to the lungs and other sites, such as the peritoneum and brain. These attributes make EO771 a valuable model for evaluating the efficacy of novel anticancer treatments and understanding tumor-immune system dynamics. |

Handling
| Culture Medium | DMEM, w: 4.5 g/L Glucose, w: 4 mM L-Glutamine, w: 3.7 g/L NaHCO3, w: 1.0 mM Sodium pyruvate (Cytion article number 820300a) |
|---|---|
| Supplements | Supplement the medium with 10% FBS, 20 mM HEPES |
| Dissociation Reagent | Accutase |
| Subculturing | Remove the old medium from the adherent cells and wash them with PBS that lacks calcium and magnesium. For T25 flasks, use 3-5 ml of PBS, and for T75 flasks, use 5-10 ml. Then, cover the cells completely with Accutase, using 1-2 ml for T25 flasks and 2.5 ml for T75 flasks. Let the cells incubate at room temperature for 8-10 minutes to detach them. After incubation, gently mix the cells with 10 ml of medium to resuspend them, then centrifuge at 300xg for 3 minutes. Discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells in fresh medium, and transfer them into new flasks that already contain fresh medium. |
| Seeding density | Maintain cultures between 5 - 10 x 104 cells/cm2 |
| Fluid renewal | 2 to 3 times per week |
| Freeze medium | As a cryopreservation medium, we use complete growth medium (including FBS) + 10% DMSO for adequate post-thaw viability, or CM-1 (Cytion catalog number 800100), which includes optimized osmoprotectants and metabolic stabilizers to enhance recovery and reduce cryo-induced stress. |
| Thawing and Culturing Cells |
|
| Incubation Atmosphere | 37°C, 5% CO2, humidified atmosphere. |
| Shipping Conditions | Cryopreserved cell lines are shipped on dry ice in validated, insulated packaging with sufficient refrigerant to maintain approximately −78 °C throughout transit. On receipt, inspect the container immediately and transfer vials without delay to appropriate storage. |
| Storage Conditions | For long-term preservation, place vials in vapor-phase liquid nitrogen at about −150 to −196 °C. Storage at −80 °C is acceptable only as a short interim step before transfer to liquid nitrogen. |
Quality Control & Molecular Analysis
| Sterility | Mycoplasma contamination is excluded using both PCR-based assays and luminescence-based mycoplasma detection methods. To ensure there is no bacterial, fungal, or yeast contamination, cell cultures are subjected to daily visual inspections. |
