Abstract
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) recognize the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and antigenic peptide complex, and they play a crucial role in cancer immunity. Our recent study revealed that HLA class I downregulation is related to poorer prognosis and a low level of intratumoral CTLs is associated with platinum resistance, indicating the significance of immunological surveillance.Entities:
