Abstract excerpt
To clarify the pathogenic and biological significance of EGFR mutations in lung cancer, we compared the status of ERBB family receptors, their downstream signal transductions and biological phenotypes between lung cancer cell lines with mutant and wild type EGFR. We initially analyzed expression and phosphorylation of ERBB family receptors and their major downstream proteins, AKT, p44/42 MAPK and STAT3, in a...
