Chromosome loss is the most frequent mechanism contributing to HLA haplotype loss in human tumors
24 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the short arm of chromosome 6 (6p) was detected in samples obtained from colon (13.8%), larynx (17.6%) and melanoma (15.3%) tumors. The parallel study of HLA-antigen expression in tumor tissues using locus- and polymorphic-specific antibodies in combination with LOH microsatellite analysis on 6p allowed us to establish that LOH in chromosome 6 is a representative phenomenon in most...
