Total loss of MHC class I is an independent indicator of good prognosis in breast cancer (2005)
Journal Article
Madjd, Z., Spendlove, I., Pinder, S. E., Ellis, I. O., & Durrant, L. G. (2005). Total loss of MHC class I is an independent indicator of good prognosis in breast cancer. International Journal of Cancer, 117(2), https://doi.org/10.1002/ijc.21163

Tumours can be recognised by CTL and NK cells. CTL recognition depends on expression of MHC Class I loaded with peptides from tumour antigens. In contrast, loss of MHC Class I results in NK activation. In our study a large set of samples from patient...
