Abstract

Loss or downregulation of MHC class I molecules on tumour cells is a common mechanism by which tumours can escape from T-cell mediated immune responses. In this study we have investigated the immunologic crossreactivity between murine tumour cell lines expressing human papilloma virus (HPV) 16-derived E6/E7 oncoproteins with distinct surface expression of MHC class I molecules. The aims of this study were to demonstrate whether immune responses capable of coping with MHC class I-positive tumours can also be effective against their MHC class I-deficient derivatives and whether it is possible to induce immunity against MHC class I-deficient tumours by cellular vaccines based on MHC class I-deficient tumour cell lines. Our data showed that immunization with MHC class I-deficient but not with MHC class I positive tumour cells inhibited the growth of MHC class I-deficient tumours. In vivo depletion studies revealed that the mechanisms underlying effective immune responses against MHC class I-negative tumours in animals immunized with MHC class I-deficient tumour cells involved natural killer cells. The presented findings are of particular clinical relevance in the sense of construction of vaccines directed against a broad spectrum of HPV-associated tumours.
