In the mouse TC-1/A9 model characterized by reversible downregulation of major histocompatibility class I (MHC-I) molecules, ASPH inhibition was combined with stimulation of innate and/or adaptive immunity, and the anti-tumor response was analyzed by evaluation of tumor growth, in vivo depletion of immune cell subpopulations, and ELISPOT assay. This evidence concerns the gene ASPH and neoplasm.
