Epigenetic priming restores the HLA class-I antigen processing machinery expression in Merkel cell carcinoma

Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive, yet highly immunogenic skin cancer. The latter is due to its viral or UV-associated carcinogenesis. For tumor progression MCC has to escape the host’s immuno-surveillance, e.g. by loss of HLA class-I expression. Indeed, a reduced HLA cla...
