Cancer immune escape: MHC expression in primary tumours versus metastases
11 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Tumours can escape T-cell responses by losing major histocompatibility complex (MHC)/ human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules. In the early stages of cancer development, primary tumours are composed of homogeneous HLA class I-positive cancer cells.
