The BT-474 cell line, originating from a 60-year-old White female breast cancer patient, showcases epithelial traits and emerges from an invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. Notably, the BT-474 cells are identified as estrogen receptor positive (ER), progesterone receptor positive (PR),
and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2). These cells form compact, slowly growing multi-layered colonies, rarely achieving confluence and failing to create a continuous monolayer. Impressively, they exhibit tumorigenic characteristics in athymic mice and demonstrate susceptibility to the mouse mammary tumor virus. Additionally, a mutation in the TP53 gene is identified within the BT-474 cell line.
