This MCF7 cell line has been engineered with a tetracycline (Tet)-off system to express green fluorescent protein (GFP). GFP expression can be regulated by the presence or absence of tetracycline, allowing for controlled studies of gene expression and cellular dynamics.
Drug screening and biological assays
Tet-off is a system used to control gene expression in cells, where the presence of tetracycline or its analogs represses transcription of a target gene.
