Description	HBL-100 is a human breast epithelial cell line originally derived from the breast milk of a nursing mother. The milk was collected three days post-delivery, and despite no evidence of a breast lesion in the donor and no family history of breast cancer, the cells exhibited an abnormal karyotype by passage 7. This cell line is notable for its ability to synthesize a small amount of lactose and to respond to prolactin or estrogen stimulation by increasing the production of casein. Microscopic analyses, such as electron micrographs, have confirmed the presence of microvilli, tonofibrils, and desmosomes in these cells, highlighting their typical epithelial characteristics. However, the HBL-100 cell line has encountered significant complications regarding its identification and characterization. It was found to contain a Y chromosome, suggesting a misidentification as the cell line was initially thought to be of female origin. Further complexity arises from the presence of SV40 genomic sequences within the cell line, contradicting earlier beliefs that it was spontaneously immortalized. These findings have led to debates regarding the origin and the genetic makeup of HBL-100, making it a problematic cell line for research without thorough validation of its characteristics and origin.

Tumorigène	Yes, in nude mice. At passage levels below 35 the line is not tumorigenic in nude mice, but forms colonies in soft agar. Tumorigenicity has been reported to increase above passage 35.
Virus	The cells contain a tamdemly integrated SV40 genome it has been reported that they may contain a type D retrovirus that is similar or identical to Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV).
Transcriptase inverse	Positive
Statut de ploïdie	Aneuploid
État du MSI	Stable (MSS)
Caryotype	The stemline chromosome number is near triploid with the modal number of 67 chromosomes, and the 2S component occurring at 0.6%. Most chromosome complements consist of about 39 normal and 28 marker chromosomes. Markers such as 2q, 11q+, 11q, t(2q.12), t(2q.5q?), t(6p?.16), 16pt and many others are common to most metaphases. Normal chromosomes 11, 14, 15 and 16 are absent. 2, 12, 17 and 19 are monosomic, and the x is disomic. DNA profiling for amelogenin, a sex-chromosome-specific PCR assay that can distinguish x chromosome-specific products from Y chromosome-specific products revealed the presence of Y chromosomes in this cell line of putative female origin. Confirmation of the general findings was accomplished by QM staining, C-banding, and FISH, with a whole chromosome paint probe to the human Y chromosome.

Milieu de culture	McCoys 5a, w: 3.0 g/L Glucose, w: stable Glutamine, w: 2.0 mM Sodium pyruvate, w: 2.2 g/L NaHCO3 (Cytion article number 820200a)
Suppléments	Supplement the medium with 10% FBS
Réactif de dissociation	Accutase
Repiquage	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.
Densité de semis	1 x 10⁴ cells/cm²
Renouvellement des fluides	2 to 3 times per week
Rétablissement après le dégel	After thawing, plate the cells at 5 x 10⁴ cells/cm² and allow the cells to recover from the freezing process and to adhere for at least 24 hours.
Milieu de congélation	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.
Décongélation et culture des cellules	Confirm that the vial remains deeply frozen upon delivery, as cells are shipped on dry ice to maintain optimal temperatures during transit. Upon receipt, either store the cryovial immediately at temperatures below -150°C to ensure the preservation of cellular integrity, or proceed to step 3 if immediate culturing is required. For immediate culturing, swiftly thaw the vial by immersing it in a 37°C water bath with clean water and an antimicrobial agent, agitating gently for 40-60 seconds until a small ice clump remains. Perform all subsequent steps under sterile conditions in a flow hood, disinfecting the cryovial with 70% ethanol before opening. Carefully open the disinfected vial and transfer the cell suspension into a 15 ml centrifuge tube containing 8 ml of room-temperature culture medium, mixing gently. Centrifuge the mixture at 300 x g for 3 minutes to separate the cells and carefully discard the supernatant containing residual freezing medium. Gently resuspend the cell pellet in 10 ml of fresh culture medium. For adherent cells, divide the suspension between two T25 culture flasks; for suspension cultures, transfer all the medium into one T25 flask to promote effective cell interaction and growth. Adhere to established subculture protocols for continued growth and maintenance of the cell line, ensuring reliable experimental outcomes.
Atmosphère d'incubation	37°C, 5% CO₂, humidified atmosphere.
Conditions d'expédition	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.
Conditions d'entreposage	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.

Stérilité	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.
