EGFR and infection: To study the potential effect of the mutated-EGFRs on lung cancer progression, mutated EGFR [L858R (a point mutation in exon 21) or Del 3 (an in-frame deletion in exon 19)] or the wild-type (WT) one was introduced into H1437 (non-mutated) lung adenocarcinoma cells via lentiviral infection (Figure 3A).
