For each drug, DLBCL cell lines were ranked according to sensitivity based on area under the dose-response curve (AUC) for rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and vincristine. Division into tertiles defines: Rituximab, 4 sensitive, 5 intermediate, 5 resistant; Cyclophosphamide, 4 sensitive, 4 intermediate, 4 resistant; Doxorubicin, 5 sensitive, 4 intermediate, 5 resistant; Vincristine, 4 sensitive, 4 intermediate, 4 resistant. Based on GEP, DLBCL cell lines were classified into ABC/GCB subclasses by Wright classification using published algorithms at hemaClass.org [17]. ABC, activated B-cell like; GCB, germinal center B-cell like; Int, intermediate; NA, not available; Res, resistant; Sen, sensitive; * excluded due to large variation between replicates
