ABSTRACT:
Peptides or proteins related to a melanoma associated antigen are described. These are produced in large quantities via recombinant DNA techniques and/or by chemical synthetic methods. The peptides or proteins can be used as immunogens in vaccine formulations which can induce an immune response that selectively destroys melanoma cells in a vaccinated individual. Where the peptides or proteins are expressed by a recombinant virus, inactivated or live virus vaccine formulations may be prepared.
