Haplotype Loss of HLA Class I Antigen as an Escape Mechanism from Immune Attack in Lung Cancer
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
One of tumor escape mechanisms from the host's immunosurveillance system (i.e., a haplotype loss of HLA class I antigens) has been detected in various tumor cells. We hypothesize that the majority of tumor cells with normal HLA class I expression were attacked and eradicated by CTLs, and only a minority with an abnormal expression of HLA class I antigens could escape the host's immunosurveillance system. Using...
