    In Vitro

    Letrozole (0.1-100 nM; 24-96 h) significantly inhibits growth of the MCF-7 epithelial breast cancer cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner[2].
    Letrozole (10 nM) significantly suppresses the stimulatory effects of testosterone on MCF-7 cell proliferation[2].
    Letrozole (10 nM; 24-48 h) suppresses the levels of secreted metalloproteinases (MMP‐2 and MMP‐9) in MCF-7 cells[2].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
