Culture of normal human mammary epithelial cells - (Nov/24/2006 )

Hello !
Could any body suggest what media and conditions should be used for culturing of normal human mammary epithelial cells and cells from cancerous tissue?

Search your cell line in American Type Culture Collection and find out the optimal condition for growing them.

Hope this help.

are they primary cells or a cell line?
if they're HMECs, try looking up a few papers in pubmed to get a general idea. for isntance, http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlere...gi?artid=397564 says which media they used for their HMECs.
