MDA-MB-231 cell lysate is derived from a highly aggressive and metastatic human breast cancer cell line, widely used in scientific research to study the mechanisms of cancer metastasis and invasion. This lysate serves as a vital tool for investigating the expression and regulatory mechanisms of genes and proteins involved in cell motility and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process pivotal for cancer cells to acquire invasive capabilities. Researchers utilize MDA-MB-231 lysate to study the roles of various signaling molecules and pathways, including the NF-kB pathway, which is known to be active in promoting inflammation and metastasis. Additionally, this lysate has been instrumental in examining the tumor microenvironment's influence on cancer progression, particularly how tumor cells interact with and modify their surroundings to facilitate metastasis. The lysate's utility extends to screening for potential anti-metastatic compounds, providing insights into the molecular underpinnings of resistance. By using MDA-MB-231 cell lysate, researchers can delve into the molecular biology of cancer metastasis, exploring how alterations in gene expression and protein function contribute to the complex biology of aggressive breast cancer.

Can you recommend a positive control to use with ERα (2Q418): sc-71064 monoclonal antibody for Western blot?

Asked by: jenniferc
We recommend MCF7 nuclear extract (sc-2149) and MOLT-4 (sc-2233), Raji (sc-364236) or MDA-MB-231 (sc-2232) whole cell lysates to use as positive controls as we have Western blot data showing specific detection of ERα in these cell lines.
