Abstract excerpt
OBJECT: It remains unclear whether malignant glioma cells can deliver tumor antigens efficiently to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class I molecules. To elucidate the mechanism of antigen presentation in malignant gliomas, the authors examined the expression of the transporter associated with antigen processing 1 (TAP1), which transports antigens to MHC Class I molecules, and low-molecular-mass...
