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
Downregulation of MHC class I expression is a widespread phenomenon used by tumor cells to escape antitumor T-cell-mediated immune responses. These alterations may play a role in the clinical course of the disease. The aim of our study was to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the absenc
## Abstract In this study we investigated whether the presence of specific populations of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in diagnostic primary melanoma biopsies are related to outcome in clinically stage II melanoma patients. Moreover, we investigated whether the presence of TILs correlates
