From: HNPCC versus sporadic microsatellite-unstable colon cancers follow different routes toward loss of HLA class I expression

Figure 1

Example of immunohistochemical analysis performed on the RST and HNPCC tumors (Amplification 10×). A, Positive expression of HLA class I antigens detected with the HCA2 antibody. The epithelial (large arrow) membranous expression of HLA class I antigens is identical to the lymphocytic infiltrate (small arrow). B, Loss of expression of HLA class I identified with the HCA 2 antibody. The lymphocytic infiltrate (small arrow) was used as a positive control to determine the loss of expression on the epithelial cells. C, Loss of expression of β2m in a HNPCC case. D, Loss of expression of one of the APM members (Tapasin) in a RST case.
