Obstructing Shedding of the Immunostimulatory MHC Class I Chain–Related Gene B Prevents Tumor Formation
15 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Clinical observations have suggested that shedding of the MHC class I chain-related molecule (MIC) may be one of the mechanisms by which tumors evade host immunosurveillance and progress. However, this hypothesis has never been proven. In this study, we tested this hypothesis using a prostate tumor model and investigated the effect of shedding of MIC on tumor development. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We...
