We have isolated and characterized a melanoma tumor-associated antigen (TAA) from the spent culture medium of a melanoma cell line. Its presence has been detected in 72% of different melanoma specimens but not in normal tissues. Because tumor antigens may stimulate or perhaps block immune reactions

## Abstract To identify soluble cell surface melanoma‐associated antigens (MAA), human melanoma cells in culture were radioiodinated by the lactoper‐oxidase technique and solubilized in non‐ionic detergent (NP‐40). Labelled MAA were identified by a quantitative double‐antibody antigen binding assay
## Abstract Murine multipotential hematopoietic stem cells (CFU‐s) bear an antigen (SC‐1) which is recognized by heterologous antisera to mouse brain. We have found that cloned Thy‐1 negative variants of the T‐cell lymphoma RL ♂1 are sensitive to complement‐mediated cytolysis by anti‐brain serum an
