Abstract excerpt
The exact frequency of HLA class I losses in human tumors is unknown. We have previously shown that primary breast and colorectal carcinomas frequently lose HLA class I molecules (88% and 73%, respectively). Now we report that this phenomenon is also a frequent event in laryngeal carcinomas. Of a total of 76 laryngeal carcinomas analyzed, 66% of the tumors showed an alteration in HLA class I phenotype. These...
