High MHC-II expression in Epstein–Barr virus-associated gastric cancers suggests that tumor cells serve an important role in antigen presentation
8 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
EBV-associated gastric adenocarcinomas (EBVaGCs) often exhibit better clinical outcomes than EBV negative gastric cancers (GCs), which could be related to their consistent expression of foreign viral antigens. Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) present peptide antigens in the context of the class-II major histocompatibility complex (MHC-II). During inflammatory conditions, epithelial cells express MHC-II and...
