title: Human melanoma antigen AH is an autoantigenic ganglioside related to GD2.
abstract: AH antigen, initially defined by an antibody present in a melanoma patient, is a cell surface antigen found on approximately 65% of melanoma cell lines. Absorption analysis indicates that AH is a differentiation antigen marking normal and malignant cells of neuroectodermal origin. The AH determinant has been found to be related to GD2 ganglioside.
