Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the ligand-binding domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor have been identified in several types of human cancers, including malignant gliomas. These mutations render signaling by this receptor to be constitutively ligand-independent. In fibroblasts transformed with ligand-independent epidermal growth factor receptor mutants, there is a correlation between the formation of a unique...
