MYC/K-ras #2-3 represent independent inactivated tumors with no to highest amount of staining observed, respectively. IHC was performed similar to <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0002125#pone-0002125-g001" target="_blank">Figure 1D</a> with stated antibodies with CMR-induced lung tumors that were activated or inactivated (2–11 weeks). Adjacent bar graph panels represent scoring of individual tumors for IHC staining: negative, low (<50% positive cells) or high (≥50% positive cells) for phospho-Stat5 and phospho-Stat3 positive tumors.</p> 2008-05-07 00:58:26 inactivation myc cells shutdown stat3
