Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancers carrying the B-Raf V600E-mutation are associated with a poor prognosis. The purpose of this study was to identify B-RafV600E-mediated traits of cancer cells in a genetic in vitro model and to assess the selective sensitization of B-RafV600E-mutant cancer cells towards therapeutic agents. METHODS: Somatic cell gene targeting was used to generate subclones of the colorectal cancer...
