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
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
