Cells of chemically induced tumors differentially express major histocompatibility complex class I antigens.

Abstract excerpt

Several recent studies have indicated that alterations in expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens by tumor cells affects the ability of the host to mount an effective antitumor immune response. To investigate whether newly induced tumors frequently exhibit altered MHC antigen expression, we used methylcholanthrene to induce a series of tumors and elevated MHC antigen expression by these...
