Description
An in vitro study of M229 (a human melanoma cell line) endogenously expressing wildtype AKT3 and BRAF V600E (a known BRAF inhibitor sensitizing mutation) found that cells virally induced to stably over-express AKT3 E17K were significantly more resistant to BRAF inhibition via vemurafenib than cells transduced with empty vectors (40% vs 20% survival, p = .0033).
