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
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-a) was compared to immune interferon (IFNq) for its ability to modulate the expression and shedding of HLA antigens, of intercellular adhesion molecule l (ICAM l) and of high-molecular-weight melanomaassociated antigen (HMW MAA) by a panel of melanoma cell lines. The latte
Cell surface expression of HLA class I/peptide complexes on tumor cells is a key step in the generation of T-cell-based immune responses. Several genetic defects underlying the lack of HLA class I expression have been characterized. Here we describe another molecular mechanism that accounts for the
A third polypeptide associated with heavy and light chain subunits of class I HLA antigens in immune interferon-treated human melanoma cells\* Recombinant immune interferon (IFN-y) increases the synthesis, expression and shedding of class I HLA antigens by the cultured human melanoma cell line Colo
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
