BT-474,亦稱ATCC HTB-20,是人類高度非整倍體乳腺導管癌細胞系[1],最初分離自一位60歲的白人女性乳腺浸潤性導管癌患者。BT-474細胞包含著許多具有典型凋亡細胞形態的細胞,已知細胞不存在參與凋亡誘導的p53蛋白,而抑制細胞凋亡的Bcl-2英語Bcl-2則以中等水平表達。BT-474細胞傾向轉移到局部淋巴結,並且能夠在部形成微轉移病變[2]。BT-474有55個染色體,並且具有極其複雜的基因組序列,大多數染色體計數在超四倍體的範圍內,同時又缺失三個染色體(N11、N13和N22),並且某些染色體(N9、N14和N15)存在著低於適當比例的問題[3]。經過吉姆薩胰蛋白酶帶的測試後,未顯示出有明顯的HeLa標記物,並且在放射免疫分析中,沒有檢測到α-乳清蛋白的產生,但是發現BT-483細胞高度表達著孕酮受體[4]。BT-474應用於研究癌症生物學和開發新藥物[3]
