ERK1/2 and AKT kinases are significantly more activated in NSCLC than in control lung tissues. a One representative western blotting image and graphical representation of pixel quantization of p-ERK1/2 and relative total ERK1/2 of 8 lung tissue specimens. b One representative western blotting image and graphical representation of pixel quantization of p-AKT and relative total AKT of 8 lung tissue specimens. Each experiment was performed three times in duplicate.^*  = p < 0.05 by t-test analysis. For other details see materials and methods
