Abstract | OBJECTIVES: METHODS: RESULTS:
Survivin and HLA class I were expressed in 77 (87.5%) and 59 (67.0%) of the 88 bladder cancer specimens, respectively, and 56 (63.6%) expressed both survivin and HLA class I. The absorbance values of anti- survivin antibodies in patients with bladder cancer were significantly greater than those in the healthy volunteers. A relationship was found between the level of serum anti- survivin antibodies and the staining intensity of survivin in the specimen. CONCLUSIONS:
