This document provides methods and materials for treating cancer. For example, methods and materials for treating cancer using combinations of antigens are provided. For example, VSV vectors designed to express a GNAQ antigen, a TYRP1 antigen, and an N-RAS antigen can be used to reduce the number of cancer cells (e.g., uveal melanoma cells) within a mammal (e.g., a human). In some cases, VSV vectors designed to express a BRAF antigen, a TOPO-11a antigen, and a YB-I antigen can be used to reduce the number of cancer cells (e.g., skin melanoma cells) within a mammal (e.g., a human). The composition can comprise less than 50 separate nucleic acid molecules.

Methods and materials for treating cancer

This document provides methods and materials for treating cancer. For example, methods and materials for identifying antigens and combinations of antigens that can be used to treat cancer as well as combinations of antigens having the ability to reduce established tumors (e.g., gliomas) within a mammal (e.g., a human) are provided.

In general, one aspect of this document features a composition comprising, or consisting essentially of, nucleic acid encoding HIF-2a, SOX-10, C-MYC, and TYRP-1, wherein the composition comprises less than 100 separate nucleic acid molecules.
