A new HLA-class-I altered phenotype is described in melanoma. This phenotype is the result of a combination of HLA-B-locus down-regulation and HLA-haplotype loss. The alteration was found in 2 melanoma cell lines generated from 2 patients; one was derived from an in vivo lesion (FM37) and the other

## Abstract The ability of cancer cells to escape from the natural or immunotherapy‐induced antitumor immune response is often associated with alterations in the tumor cell surface expression of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Class I antigens. Considerable knowledge has been gained on the p
A simple sandwich ELISA method has been developed for the quantification of soluble HLA class I antigens (s-HLA) in human serum. The assay utilizes the monoclonal antibody Q6164, directed to a monomorphic determinant of the HLA a-chain, to capture the antigen and the biotinylated NAMB1 monoclonal an
HLA class I molecules present antigenic peptides to cytotoxic T lymphocytes and thus play an important role in immune surveillance of cells infected with virus or altered by malignant transformation. Immunochemical studies have demonstrated a marked deficiency or lack of expression of class I molecu
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
