Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-E is a nonclassic HLA class I molecule whose expression at the cell surface of tumor cells might allow them to escape T- and natural killer (NK)-cell immune surveillance. In this study, we analyzed HLA-E expression in a panel of human HLA-typed tumor cell lines of different histotypes by flow cytometry with anti-HLA-E monoclonal antibodies and by reverse transcriptase-polymerase...
