| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cell culture was performed using a total of 80 specimens of 77 cases of bronchial brushing specimen, 2 cases of pleural effusion and 1 autopsy lung, and cell culture and passage were possible in 53 of them (66.3%). Most of the cells that could not be cultured were due to bacterial contamination, probably by bacteria from lower respiratory tract. The EGFR and human KRAS gene sequence showed that all of the 53 cultured cells have human genes, and the KRAS mutation was observed in one of 8 cases.
