Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I expression on Hodgkin–Reed–Sternberg cells is an EBV‐independent major determinant of microenvironment composition in classic Hodgkin lymphoma

Abstract excerpt

Hodgkin-Reed-Sternberg cells (HRSCs) in classic Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) frequently lack expression of human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I), considered to hamper activation of cytotoxic T cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we demonstrate HLA-I expression on HRSCs to be a strong determinant of TME composition whereas expression of HLA-II was associated with only minor differential gene expression in...
