Abstract

The ERBBprofiler assay measures compound effects on ERBB family receptors and key downstream signaling pathways that are implicated in cancer or other complex diseases. Here, we present a protocol for identifying properties of ERBB receptor antagonists using the barcoded ERBBprofiler assay. We describe steps for in-solution transfection, cell treatment, combined processing of samples, amplification and indexing of PCRs, sequencing, and data analysis. This approach allows for the simultaneous assessment of drug effects and cell-type-dependent effects. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Popović et al.1.
