title: Similar early gene responses to ligand-activated EGFR and neu tyrosine kinases in NIH3T3 cells.
abstract: We have compared the responses of serum-inducible immediate early genes to ligand activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or a hybrid EGFR/neu receptor containing the intracellular domain of the neu proto-oncogene. Few differences in mRNA induction kinetics were found, emphasizing the functional similarity of these structurally related tyrosine kinases.
