    Concentration: 0, 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000 nM
    Incubation Time:
    Result: Effectively inhibited anchorage-independent proliferation of NIH-3T3 cells ectopically expressing EGFR mutants.

    Cell Viability Assay[2]

    Cell Line: HKESC-1, HKESC-2, SLMT-1 and EC-1 cell lines
    Concentration:
    Incubation Time: 48 and 72 hours
    Result: Observed over 95% of growth inhibition. The respective IC50 concentrations at 48 hours (HKESC-1=0.078 μM, HKESC-2=0.115 μM, KYSE510=3.182 μM, SLMT-1=4.625 μM and EC-1=1.489 μM) and 72 hours (HKESC-1=0.002 μM, HKESC-2=0.002 μM, KYSE510=1.090 μM, SLMT-1=1.161 μM and EC-1=0.109 μM) were all in lower micro-molar range.

    Concentration: 0, 0.01, and 0.1 μM (HKESC-2 cells), 0, 0.1 and 1 μM (EC-1 cells)
    Incubation Time: 24 and 48 hours
    Result: Reduced the phosphorylation of EGFR and the endogenous expression level of HER2 receptors in ESCC cells. Suppressed AKT phosphorylation in a dose and time dependent manner. Significantly reduced the phosphorylation level of the downstream effectors of the AKT-mTOR axis especially in HKESC-2 cells. Inhibited the two major downstream pathways of the ErbB/HER axis, namely, AKT and MAPK pathways in ESCC cell lines.

    Result: Induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in both tested ESCC cell lines in a time and dose dependent manner. In HKESC-2 cells, the percentage of cells in G0/G1 phase was increased from 38.2% to 68.1% at 0.01 μM of afatinib and to 74.7% at 0.1 μM of afatinib, from 24 hours (82.4% G0/G1 arrest at 0.01 μM and 86.2% at 0.1 μM) to 48 hours (from 74.7% to 88.2% for 0.01 μM and 91.0% for 0.1 μM). In EC-1 cells, the percentage of cells arrested in the G0/G1 phase was increased from 59.1% to 66.6% and 72.2% at 24 and 48 hours respectively.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
