Abstract

We have found markedly deficient expression of the class I major histocompatibility antigens HLA-A,B,C and beta 2m on human small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) lines and fresh tumor samples. The deficit of HLA-A,B,C and beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m) antigen expression was demonstrated with both radiobinding assays and indirect immunofluorescence assays. Immunoprecipitation of metabolically labeled cells with antibodies to class I antigens showed most SCLC lines to have synthesized almost no beta 2m and HLA-A,B,C proteins. Northern blot analysis, using human HLA-A,B, and beta 2m cDNA probes, showed that almost all SCLC lines tested had markedly decreased amounts of HLA and beta 2m mRNA, but both gene products could be induced with interferon treatment of SCLC lines. We conclude that human SCLC, in contrast to other lung cancer types, is characterized by greatly reduced transcription of HLA-A,B,C and beta 2m genes, which suggests the existence of a mechanism for evading the host immune response to the tumor and of an E1a-like product in this type of tumor cell.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
