() The inhibition of cell proliferation after treatment with cetuximab was measured by an MTT assay and is shown as a percentage of the optical density value of control cells (untreated) for each concentration tested. () The inhibition of cell proliferation after treatment with gefitinib was measured as in () and is shown as a percentage of the optical density value of vehicle-treated cells (DMSO) for each concentration tested. Results are shown as the mean of five independent measurements, plus or minus the standard deviation (SD). The magnitude of some SDs was smaller than the symbol size; thus some bars do not appear in the figure
