Immunoselective Pressure and Human Leukocyte Antigen Class I Antigen Machinery Defects in Microsatellite Unstable Colorectal Cancers
15 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
In colorectal cancer, the immune response is particularly pronounced against tumors displaying the high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) phenotype. MSI-H tumors accumulate mutations affecting microsatellites located within protein encoding regions (coding microsatellites, cMS), which lead to translational shifts of the respective reading frames. Consequently, novel tumor-specific frameshift-derived neopeptides...
