Description
An in vitro study of M229 (a human melanoma cell line) endogenously expressing wild-type AKT1 and BRAF V600E (a known BRAF inhibitor sensitizing mutation) found that cells induced to stably over-express AKT1 (via viral transduction with additional copies of AKT1) were not significantly more resistant to vemurafenib (a BRAFi) than cells transduced with empty vectors, which served as the negative controls.
