HMEC is a cell line that was derived from the human mammary epithelial cells of a female patient who had been suffering from breast cancer. HMEC cells exhibit a cuboidal morphology and a characteristic pattern of swirls. They also exhibit adherent cultural properties, forming monolayers when grown in vitro. HMEC can be used as a transfection host to study breast cancer and oncogenesis, and an HMEC transfection reagent to transfect HMEC cells is commercially available from Altogen Biosystems. The HMEC cell line can also be used for carcinogen screening, developing therapeutics, and three dimensional culturing.
The human mammary epithelial cancer (HMEC) cell line was derived from the glandular tissue of a patient suffering from breast cancer. Research studies on the HMEC cell line have shown the cells exhibiting a cuboidal morphology with a series of patterned swirls. The HMEC cell line is very useful in pre-clinical biomedical research done at Altogen Biosystems involving breast cancer treatments.
