Estimation of EGFR and HER2 receptors were conducted either manually or by the KEX method using LigandTracer. Estimations of the affinities have been described previously [22]. Data are presented as mean±S.E (n = 2−6). No clear effects of the treatments on the EGFR and HER2 expression is observed in either of the cell lines.
