Abbott used to sell MCF-7 cultured cells as ER controls.  I used to support
that product line until they discontinued it in 2000.  At that time it was
only being sold outside the US.   I'm sure I can answer any and all of your
questions - please contact me directly.

Has anyone used MCF-7 cultured cells (that you have grown yourself) for ER
positive controls?

If so, can you contact me please, I have some questions.

Thanks!
