Abstract
We have analyzed the mouse melanoma antigen with monoclonal antibodies established by syngeneic immunization. To further understand the structure of this antigen at a molecular level, we have cloned the genomic DNA controlling the expression of melanoma antigen by cosmid library transfection and a monoclonal antibody. In the process of analyzing this DNA fragment we found that it contained a gene related with transformation, which was proved by tumor formation in nude mice inoculated with NIH/3T3 transfectants of this DNA fragment. We discuss the structure of the gene product based on the deduced amino acid sequence of cDNA, which maps the genome bearing transformation-related activity.
