Activation and/or expression of multiple RTK EGFR, ERBB2, ERBB4, MET, and AXL in ovarian cancer cell lines were further validated by immunoblotting with phospho-specific antibodies; As shown in Figure 2A, EGFR, ERBB2, ERBB4, and MET in SKOV3, EGFR, MET, and AXL in OVCA429, and EGFR in ES2 were strongly phosphorylated (Figure 2A). This evidence concerns the gene AXL and ovarian cancer.
