摘要:
In vitro and in vivo screening assays for antagonists of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)-mediated malignant cell transformation are provided using stable cell lines genetically engineered to express a recombinant wild type or constitutively active mutant FGFR selected from FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR3, the malignant potential of said cell lines being modulated by said FGFR.
