TAP1 and TAP2 molecules are involved in the transport of peptides prior to their association with class I molecules and are mandatory for efficient antigen presentation. To investigate whether loss of expression of TAP1 or TAP2 is a likely mechanism of immune escape in malignant melanoma, TAP1 and T

The G 1 /S checkpoint of the cell cycle is regulated by p16, p53 and RB tumor suppressor genes. Loss of expression of the p16 INK4 tumor suppressor protein, the product of the CDKN2 gene, has been associated with a wide variety of human malignancies. Mutations, loss of heterozygosity and deletions o
The authors acknowledge the authorship of the following members of the Swedish Melanoma BACKGROUND. The traditional surgical treatment for primary malignant melanoma has often been a wide excision with a margin of about 5 cm. Since the risk of local recurrences is dependent on tumor thickness, thin
The circulating levels of a 90-kilodalton (K) tumor-associated antigen were measured in the blood of 43 patients with gynecologic and breast malignancies who underwent a short course of recombinant alpha-2b-interferon (rIFN a-zb) (3 million U/m2/d intramuscularly [IM] for 3 days). Of the 43 patients
