| Abstract: | The identification of antigens on tumor cells has led to significant contributions to the field of immunotherapy. One of the most active areas under investigation in cancer immunotherapy is the development of vaccines against melanoma antigens. Induction of immunity against tumor antigens can follow multiple routes using different mechanisms. Crucial to the development of active immunization and other immunotherapies are the discovery and understanding of the molecular identity of tumor antigens and the mechanisms involved in tumor immunity. In this chapter, we will discuss strategies to induce active immunity against tumors, using melanoma as a paradigm for targeted vaccine therapy. |
