EGFR-dependent aerotaxis is a common trait of breast tumour cells

Table 2 Summary of the aerotactic potential of breast cancer cell lines

-, ±, +: Existence or not, and intensity of the aerotaxis
Column “Aerotaxis + EGF”: intensity of aerotaxis with EGF and statistical difference with condition -EGF.
Column “Aerotaxis + cetuximab”: intensity of aerotaxis in the presence of cetuximab in the medium ± EGF and statistical difference with the corresponding medium ± EGF.
p: result of the Student t-test on D5% values.
NS: non-significant.
ND: not determined (usually when migration was not fast enough to expect a significant difference).
NI: no interest when there is no migration to inhibit.
Column total EGFR: Intensity of EGFR expression observed by Western blot. For full results, see Figs. 7 and 8.
