erbB-2 Overexpression in Human Mammary Epithelial Cells Confers Growth Factor Independence*
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
Previously, we demonstrated that human breast cancer cells with progressively elevated levels of constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated erbB-2 are independent of growth factors required by normal human mammary epithelial (HME) cells for proliferation in serum-free medium. To determine whether erbB-2 overexpression alone is sufficient to confer the growth factor-independence phenotype in HME cells, the...
