Radiolabeled Monoclonal Antibodies for Imaging and Therapy

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 152))

Abstract

Analysis of human melanoma cells with murine monoclonal antibodies has identified a number of antigens which are associated with the malignant transformation of melanocytes (for review, see 1,2). These antigens are referred to as melanoma associated antigens (MAA). Most of them, if not all of them, are detectable in melanocytes which are cultured in-vitro and are likely to be differentiation antigens.
