[Expression of HLA-I antigens in primary hepatocellular carcinoma].
OBJECTIVE
To find out whether hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells express HLA-I antigens.


METHODS
LSAB assay of immunohistochemistry was used to detect six frozen HCC specimens.


RESULTS
All the HCC cells have strong expression of HLA-I antigens.


CONCLUSIONS
In view of these data on the expression of HLA-I antigens, the authors deem it practical to develop HCC CTL vaccine.
