## 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 antiβHMWβMAA mAb 225.28S is able to inhibit human melanoma tumor growth in SCID mice

β¦ Synopsis
The urine of 68% of melanoma patients contains a high molecular weight glycoprotein which is expressed by melanoma cells and reacts with autologous antibody. Since high levels of this antigen in urine correlate with disease recurrence in surgically treated melanoma patients, it has been termed urinary tumor-associated antigen (U-TAA). We report the development of a murine monoclonal IgM antibody (AD1-40F4), which is specific for U-TAA. AD1 -4OF4 showed the same pattern of reactivity as the allo-antibodies previously used for the detection of U-TAA. The
