MUC1 and breast carcinoma: It is known that HS578T cells have been derived from mammary gland/breast carcinoma cells; ZR 75-1 cells have been derived from a metastatic site of ductal carcinoma; this cell line is characterized by high levels of expression of MUC-1 and, to a lesser degree, MUC-2 glycoproteins but not MUC-3 glycoprotein [17]; SKBR-3 cells have been derived from metastatic adenocarcinoma (https://www.lgcstandards-atcc.org/).
