These are images of some of the cells i have worked with throughout my research in different labs. Some of these pictures simply show cells, while other images are of cells stained for different observations, all of which are explained.

MCF-7 cells
Human Caucasian Breast Adenocarcinoma: Established from the pleural effusion from a 69 year female caucasian suffering from a breast adenocarcinoma. Cells exhibit some features of differentiated mammary epithelium including oestradiol synthesis and formation of domes. Cells may carry B or C type retrovirus and are considered to represent a category 2 pathogen (P2 containment). Cells express both the wildtype and variant oestrogen receptors as well as progesterone receptor. Picture taken by Hashem A. Dbouk on 11/07/2006
