Abstract Surface antigens of human melanoma cells have been studied using heterologous antisera from monkeys (Macaca speciosa). An antiserum against shortly cultured melanoma cells was cytotoxic for cells from different melanomas, brain and embryonal fibroblasts, but not for normal or tumor cells other than melanoma. A second antiserum against a cell line (IPC-48) reacted with IPC-48 cells only. These results suggest a specific antigen for the melanoma cell line IPC-48. The antiserum against IPC-48 was used to compare two solubilization methods of membrane antigens. Antigens solubilized in 2M KI appeared to be purer than antigens extracted with hypotonic salt, the recovery of membrane antigens being comparably high in both cases.
