The MDA-kb2 cell line was derived from the breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-453 (see ATCC HTB-131) by stable transfection with a mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) luciferase-neo reporter gene construct.
The cell line expresses firefly luciferase under control of the MMTV promoter that contains response elements for both glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and androgen receptors (AR).
MDA-kb2 may be used in an in vitro assay to screen androgen agonist and antagonists and to characterize its specificity and sensitivity to endocrine disrupting chemicals.
