The effect of irradiation on expression of HLA class I antigens in human brain tumors in culture

Abstract excerpt

The immunosuppressive effects of irradiation are well known; however, under certain circumstances irradiation also augments the local immune response by as yet undefined mechanisms. Because of the importance of HLA class I antigen in immune regulation and the fact that killing of tumor cells by cytotoxic T cells is HLA antigen-restricted, the authors studied HLA class I antigen expression in eight glioblastomas...
