There is some info in the article "Vaccine Therapy for Malignant Melanoma" by Donald L. Morton, MD and Andreas Barth, MD on the web page http://www.ca-journal.org/frames/articles/articles_1996/46_225-245.html A couple of other vaccine links: "The Promise of Vaccines" http://www.sciam.com/0996issue/0996old.html#5 "Categories of Cancer Vaccines" http://www.sciam.com/0996issue/0996oldtable.html "Tumor Biology for the Clinician: Melanoma Peptide Vaccines" by Craig L.
