Abstract
Melanoma can be treated in a mammalian subject by administering to the subject an immunologically-effective amount of a xenogeneic melanoma-associated differentiation antigen. For example, genetic immunization with a plasmid containing a sequence encoding human gp75 has been shown to be effective in treatment of dogs with melanoma.
