In this study, we have utilized the human high molecular weight-melanoma associated antigen (HMW-MAA) as a target for active specific immunotherapy with mouse anti-idiotypic (anti-id) monoclonal antibodies (mAb) in patients with malignant melanoma. After having summarized the characteristics of HMW-MAA which account for its selection as a target for immunotherapy, we describe the development and characterization of mouse anti-id mAb MK2-23 which bears the internal image of HMW-MAA. Furthermore, we describe the results of the first clinical trial performed with mouse anti-id mAb MK2-23 in patients with malignant melanoma.		 1(0,0,0,1)
