Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: We previously demonstrated that a family predisposed to lung cancer harbored a V843I substitution in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein. We report here the further characterization of this mutant EGFR protein in the context of tumorigenicity and resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) of EGFR activity. METHODS: Phosphorylation of EGFR and downstream signaling proteins of...
