Enhanced anticancer effect of cetuximab combined with stabilized silver ion solution in EGFR-positive lung cancer cells

Background Cytotoxic, antiproliferative, cell cycle inhibitive, oxidative and apoptotic effects of cetuximab [antibody for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)] alone and together with stabilized silver ion solution (St-Ag) on P-H1299, R-H1299, A-431 and A-549 cells were investigated. Materials and methods Cytotoxic effects of cetuximab alone and together with St-Ag on cells were determined by Cell Titer-Blue ® Cell Viability and Lactate...
