We studied major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I expression in 12 tumor cell culture lines established from patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In one of these cell culture lines, UOK 123, we found no surface expression of beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)m) and MHC class I by now cytometry. Immunofluorescence staining using three different monoclonal antibodies to beta(2)m revealed no detectable beta(2)m in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, cytoplasm, or on the cell surface. There was no evidence of folded class I molecules inside or on the surface of the cells; however, the ER stained intensively for unfolded class I molecules. Transient expression of beta(2)m by UOK 123 after infection with a recombinant vaccinia virus containing the gene for beta(2)m resulted in normal expression of both beta(2)m and class I (HLA-A, B, C) determinants assessed by now cytometry analysis. No expression of class I or beta(2)m was seen with the recombinant vaccinia vector carrying a control gene. The inability of class I molecules to reach the cell surface is due to the requirement of beta(2)m for proper folding and presentation of the class I MHC complex. The failure to assemble and express MHC class I complex on the cell surface renders these cells incapable of antigen presentation to cytotoxic T cells and provides a mechanism for escape from immune recognition by the tumor.
