Problem:The adaptive immune system seems to play an essential role in the natural course of ovarian cancer. Aim of this study was to establish whether disease-specific survival for patients expressing the tumour antigen p53 is influenced by MHC class I expression or the presence of p53 autoantibodies (p53-Aab).', 'P53 and MHC class I expression were analysed in ovarian cancer tissue of 329 patients by immunohistochemistry using tissue microarrays. For 233 patients, pre-treatment serum samples were available to study the presence of p53 autoantibodies by ELISA. Data were linked to clinicopathological parameters and disease-specific survival.', 'P53 overexpression, MHC class I down-regulation in neoplastic cells and serum p53 autoantibodies were observed in 49.4, 38.9 and 15.9% of patients, respectively. MHC class I down-regulation in p53-overexpressing tumours correlated with a 10-month reduced disease-specific survival in univariate analysis (log-rank 4.10; p=0.043). p53-Aab were strongly correlated with p53 overexpression (p<0.001), but did not influence disease-specific survival.
