Abstract excerpt
Neuroblastoma (NB) is often described as an unfavorable target for both HLA-restricted and death receptor-mediated elimination by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) due to low or absent HLA class I and caspase-8 expression. We investigated the effects of soluble factors released by CTLs activated by TCR triggering (named as activated supernatant; AS) on the levels and composition of cell surface molecules involved in...
