## Abstract The immune system controls tumor formation through identification and elimination of cellular alterations. Consequently, cancer development in immune competent hosts depends on strategies to evade the immune system. Modulation of tumor antigen‐specific immune responses by aberrant expre
Loss of surface expression of class I major histocompatibility antigens is commonly observed in malignant tumors and has been considered one of the mechanisms for escape from cytotoxic T cells. However, natural killer cells kill cells lacking HLA class I antigens. In the present study, we characteri
The expression of HLA class-I mRNA in human colorectal cancer cell lines was studied. Locusspecific down-regulation of HLA class-I mRNA could be demonstrated in some of the human colorectal lines. This transcriptional suppression of HLA mRNA, however, was not a result of genetic alterations in the H
