## Abstract The lack of efficacy of available therapies for the treatment of malignant melanoma has emphasized the need to develop novel therapeutic strategies to prevent melanoma growth. We have tested whether the antiโHMWโMAA mAb 225.28S is able to inhibit human melanoma tumor growth in SCID mice
## Abstract Simple, noninvasive methods are needed to follow effectiveness of new treatments in patients with melanoma. In our study, we examined cytoplasmic melanomaโassociated antigen (CYTโMAA) serum level in melanoma patients during immunotherapy. Sera of 117 patients were assayed for CYTโMAA by
## Abstract Spent tissue culture medium (CDMโS) removed from a single cell line of human malignant melanoma grown in serumโfree CDM, contained tumorโassociated antigenic activity. Antibodies to CDMโS measured by complement fixation were detected in 44% (31/70) melanoma, 55% (15/27) sarcoma, 63% (24
