Description  

MDA-231-BoM-1833 is a breast adenocarcinoma cell line established from bone metastasis of nude mice inculated with the parent cell line. It is a triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line.  

This cell line is part of a panel of human breast cancer cell lines selected to metastasize to specific organs. 

This cell line was established from a 51-year-old female of Caucasian ethnicity and was derived from a metastatic site of pleural effusion.
