Local sensitivity analysis to identify determinants of IC50 for gefitinib and cetuximab. (a and b) Sensitivity of IC50 values to perturbations of 10-fold in each of the model parameters was computed for (a) gefitinib or (b) cetuximab. Sensitivities were reported as the absolute value of the difference in the logarithm of the base IC50 and the perturbed IC50 values and then normalized to the maximum. This analysis was performed for 1.6 nmol/l epidermal growth factor (EGF), 1.6 nmol/l amphiregulin (AR), and 160 nmol/l AR.
