Induction of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling by sera isolated from patients with lung adenocarcinoma
In this webinar, Dr. Borgia will discuss a study in which he evaluates differences in receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling in A549 cells using pretreatment sera from cases of lung adenocarcinoma at various stages compared to controls. This research was designed to explore the hypothesis that circulating concentrations of decoy receptors and/or ligands, as well as disease-specific ligand degradation, all regulate RTK signaling in vivo.
What will you learn?
- Hear about recent research on tyrosine kinase signaling in patients with lung adenocarcinoma
- Associations of circulating biomarker levels with disease progression in lung cancer
- Results from the evaluation of the matching patient sera to stimulate RTK signaling
- Discuss potential mechanisms leading to disparity in these findings
- Gain insight into how to successfully integrate multiplexed immunoassays into your cancer research workflow
- Learn about best practices for running multiplex protein detection assays to generate the highest quality data
Who may this interest?
- Cancer researchers
- Companies who focus on cancer research (small molecules, mAbs, ADC, cell therapies, BiSpmAbs)
- Tumor biologists interested in developing novel strategies in targeted therapy
