The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine-kinase inhibitor gefitinib (Iressa, ZD1839) has shown promising activity preclinically and clinically. Because comparative investigations of drug-resistant sublines with their parental cells are useful approaches to identifying the mechanism of gefitinib resistance and select factors that determine sensitivity to gefitinib, we established a human non-small cell...
