T47D human breast cancer cells were cultured in estrogen-deficient media for up to 32 months and the resulting cell line (L(hE(-))) exhibited unique phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Compared to low passage (L) cells, the L(hE(-)) cells exhibited a significantly higher rate of proliferation, unique morphological features, advanced ploidy status and 5- to 10-fold higher levels of the estrogen receptor (ER)...
