Western blot analysis for the detection of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) at 21 days. The Western blot is shown at top (EGFR, 170kDa). The computerized densitometry is shown below. ∗p = versus S21 and P21. (P = pneumonectomy; R = pneumonectomy with administration of retinoic acid; S = sham thoracotomy.)
