title: The use of non-human primates for production of antisera to human tumor-associated antigens.
abstract: High-titered antisera against human melanoma- and leukemia-associated antigens have been produced in non-human primates. The data from this and from other studies suggest that this model may prove a valuable source of highly specific antisera against a variety of human tumor-associated antigens or alloantigens. Our methods for production and characterization of these antisera are reported.
