Abstract excerpt
Expression of transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) is often lost in metastatic carcinomas, resulting in defective antigen processing and presentation and escape of the cancer cells from immune surveillance. In this study, the nature of TAP deficiencies in tumors was investigated. By chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, we showed that the recruitment of RNA polymerase II to the TAP-1 gene was...
