As a consequence, specific cytotoxic T-cells generated by the vaccine protocol are unable to recognize and kill these tumor variants due to defective presentation of tumor associated antigen-derived peptides recognized by the CTLs. The MHC Class I restricted antigen presentation pathway consists of a number of genes encoded in the MHC Class I locus of human chromosome 6. [16] [17] [18] Conversely TAP1 expression has been associated with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), a characteristic of good clinical outcome 8, 16, 19 and spontaneous regression of MAAs. 4 In our study, we examine the effect of the restoration of TAP1 expression on MHC Class I antigen surface expression in the murine MAA cell line, B16F10. ./cache/cord-335342-u0ys2xcm.txt ./txt/cord-335342-u0ys2xcm.txt
