Brain metastasis model in athymic nude mice using a novel MUC1-secreting human breast-cancer cell line, MA11
27 Nov 1996
Abstract excerpt
The MA11 human breast-cancer cell line was established with cells isolated from a bone-marrow sample using immunomagnetic beads conjugated to the anti-MUC1 antibody BM-2. The cell line showed a selective preference for metastasising to the brain in athymic nude mice. Following injection of MA11 cells into the left ventricle of the heart, brain metastases developed in 87% (20/23) animals, with a mean latency until...
