Abstract excerpt
ErbB3 transactivation can make tumor cells resistance to ErbB1/ErbB2 targeting drugs. This urges for a reliable method to determine cell surface ErbB3 levels, but in our hands iodinated NRG1beta is unstable and tends to underestimate the number of ErbB3 receptors in a radio-receptor assay. Here we show by the use of a radio-labeled high affinity neuregulin mutant NRG/YYDLL that ErbB3 levels can be determined in a...
