Properties
Karyotype |
modal number = 90; range = 87 to 91. The cell line is aneuploid human female, with chromosome counts in the hypo- to near-tetraploid range. Normal chromosomes N11, N13, and N17 are absent, and chromosomes N2, N6, and N12 are clearly under-represented with respect to the copy number of other normal chromosomes, while chromosome N20 tends towards over-representation. A large number of marker chromosomes are present with consistency, many of them with more than one copy. The near-diploid population of cells reported for this culture has been replaced by a tetraploid population. |

Derivation |
MDA-MB-453 was derived in 1976 by R. Cailleau et al. from an effusion of a 48 year old female patient with metastatic carcinoma of the breast, involving the nodes, brain and both pleural and pericardial cavities.

Background
Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Leibovitz''''''''s L-15 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2008. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
(Note: The L-15 medium formulation was devised for use in a free gas exchange with atmospheric air. A CO2 and air mixture is detrimental to cells when using this medium for cultivation) |
