Abstract excerpt
The transforming gene product of avian erythroblastosis virus, v-erbB, is derived from the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor but has lost its extracellular ligand-binding domain and was mutated in its cytoplasmic portion, which is thought to be responsible for biological signal generation. We have repaired the deletion of extracellular EGF-binding sequences and investigated the functional consequences of...
