✦ Synopsis

Molecular characterization of HLA-class-I expression was investigated in human tumor cell lines at the protein and mRNA levels using locus-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and probes. Some cell lines exhibited a differential expression of HLA-A and HLA-B products and also showed differences in the inducibility of HLA-class-I genes by gamma-IFN. Thus, gamma-IFN stimulation induced predominantly HLA-B mRNA in the HeP-2 cell line, which showed imbalances in basal levels of HLA-A and HLA-B expression. This unequal inducibility of HLA genes may imply that locus-specific regulatory mechanisms are involved in the expression of individual HLA products. The specific mechanism controlling the differential expression of HLA subsets appears to be independent of c-myc activity. Northern blot analysis found no relationship between c-myc mRNA levels and specific mRNA for HLA-A and HLA-B antigens.

Tumor cells frequently show a lack of surface class-I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen expression. These molecules are key recognition structures for immune rejection of tumor cells and their absence at the surface of tumor cells could favor the progression of tumors. We have analyzed

The i( I2p) chromosome has been shown to characterize more than 80% of male germ cell tumors (GCTs) and is an important diagnostic marker. Although recent cytogenetic analyses of GCTs have defined nonrandom chromosome abnormalities in these tumors, no attempt has so far been made to compare i( I2p)-

Methionine dependence is a metabolic defect found t h u s far only in transformed and malignant cells. The defect is manifested as the inability of cells to grow in media in which methionine (Met) is replaced by its immediate precursor homocysteiiie (Hcy). We have termed this Met-Hcy+ media. We demo

## Abstract Underrepresentation of chromosome 9 is a common finding in bladder cancer. Frequent loss of the whole chromosome suggests the presence of at least one relevant tumor suppressor gene on each arm. Candidate regions identified by loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis include a region at 9p
