To assess the effect of the inhibitors on colony formation, Ba/F3 co-transfectants were seeded onto methyl-cellulose and treated with HER inhibitors in the presence of NRG1beta. As shown in Fig 6b, afatinib (100 nmol/L)
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC4823091 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 22
Evidence Type(s): Predictive, Oncogenic
Justification: Predictive: The passage discusses the effectiveness of HER inhibitors on colony formation in the presence of the V855A variant, indicating a correlation with response to therapy. Oncogenic: The V855A variant is mentioned in the context of colony formation assays, suggesting it contributes to tumor development or progression.
