  1. The table depicts parent and chemoresistant MCF7 cell line derivatives titrated with chemotherapeutic agents tamoxifen (TAM), docetaxel (DTX), doxorubicin (DOXO), HMA, or LLC1 for 24 h to determine their IC50 values. ND denotes that an IC50 value could not be determined due to the very high dosage required. Data represent a minimum of three independent biological replicates and are presented as averages ± SEM.
