Abstract excerpt
Two transplantable cell lines of human glioblastoma multiforme GL-3 and GL-5 carried an amplification and overexpression of structurally altered epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor gene: the 140 kilodalton EGF receptors in these cases exhibited a constitutively expressed tyrosine kinase activity without the ligand. Here, we isolated the abnormal EGF receptor cDNA from GL-5 cell line, and demonstrated that this...
