K-RAS mutated cell lines A549, A427 and SK-LU1 were obtained from ATTC and grown in RPMI (Gibco) supplemented with 10 % FBS, 2 mM glutamine (Gibco) and penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco). 368T1 cells were a kind gift of Dr. Tyler Jacks (45 (link)). Pulm24 cells were derived from the PDX model and harbor a K-RAS G12C mutation. KP and KPE cell lines were isolated in house from respective mice by enzymatic digestion of lungs harvested following survival analysis for genotyping or 6 weeks after Ad.Cre mediated tumor induction for re-transplantation and K-ras activity assay. (45 (link)) To determine the density of viable cells we used a CASY counter (Roche).
