Derivation	The AU565 cell line was derived at the Naval Biosciences Laboratory, Oakland, CA from a pleural effusion of a patient with breast carcinoma. This cell line was established from the same patient as SK-BR-3 (ATCC HTB-30).
Clinical Data	43 years Caucasian, White female
Receptor Expression	epidermal growth factor (EGF)
Oncogene	her2/neu + (overexpressed); her3 +; her4 +; p53 +
Genes Expressed	her2/neu + (overexpressed); her3 +; her4 +; p53 +
Comments	The patient, a White, Caucasian female, age 43, blood type A+, had been treated with radiation, steroids, cytoxan and 5-fluorouracil. The AU565 cell line amplifies and overexpresses the HER-2/neu oncogene; it expresses the HER-3, HER-4 and p53 oncogenes. Treating the cells with mycophenolic acid (MPA), phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), retinoic acid (RA) or the TA-1 monoclonal antibody to the extracellular domain of the HER-2/neu protein can induce cell differentiation. Treatment of AU565 cells with Neu differentiation factor (NDF) also induces mature phenotype, which is characterized by the morphological appearance of the cells. Untreated AU565 cells have compact nuclei with thin cytoplasm while treated cells display a morphology associated with a differentiated phenotype such as flat large nuclei surrounded by a sizable cytoplasm. A culture submitted to the ATCC in April of 1995 was found to be contaminated with mycoplasma and progeny were cured by a 21-day treatment with BM Cycline. The cells were assayed for mycoplasma, by the Hoechst stain, PCR and the standard culture test, after a six-week period following treatment. All tests were negative.

Complete Growth Medium	The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing	Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:4 to 1:6 is recommended Medium Renewal: Every 3 to 5 days Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.03% EDTA solution. Remove the solution and add an additional 1 to 2 mL of trypsin-EDTA solution. Allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or at 37°C) until the cells detach. Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks.
Cryopreservation	culture medium 95%; DMSO, 5%
Culture Conditions	Temperature: 37°C

STR Profile	Amelogenin: X CSF1PO: 12 D13S317: 11,12 D16S539: 9 D5S818: 9,12 D7S820: 9,12 THO1: 8,9 TPOX: 8,11 vWA: 17
