2 Figure 1 The Role of HLA-Mediated Antigen Presentation in Immune Detection and Elimination of Cancer (A) Mutated cancer proteins are presented as neoantigens via the HLA-containing MHC class I complex to CD8+ T cells, triggering destruction of the transformed cell in a process called immunoediting. (B and C) Mechanisms of loss-of-antigen presentation, leading to cancer cell survival either by incompatible binding between the transformed protein and the individual’s HLA (B) or by loss of HLA heterozygosity (C).
