Figure 2From: Fusion of EML4 and ALK is associated with development of lung adenocarcinomas lacking EGFR and KRAS mutations and is correlated with ALK expressionALK expression is associated with ALK fusion status. (A) ALK is overexpressed at the mRNA level in 10 fusion-positive cases analyzed using Affymetrix Genechip® U133 plus 2.0. AP, Adjacent normal tissues; N, Cancer samples with no fusion; Y, Cancer samples positive for fusion. (B) ALK is differentially expressed between EML-ALK fusion-positive and negative samples (normalized intensity of 21.99 vs. 0.45, respectively; P = 0.0018), but EML4 expression was not significantly different between the groups. Error bars indicate mean ± standard deviation.Back to article page
