Activation of a Qa/Tla class I major histocompatibility antigen gene is a general feature of oncogenesis in the mouse

P M Brickell et al. Nature. 1983.

Abstract

A cDNA clone corresponding to a mRNA present at elevated levels in transformed fibroblasts encodes a Qa/Tla class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen. High levels of this mRNA are found in all tumour cells tested; the transcript can undergo alternative splicing; and a repetitive sequence within the transcription unit has the characteristics of a transposable element. The immunological implications of MHC gene activation in tumour cells are discussed.
