The present invention provides novel, isolated, tumor-associated antigens,
and methods for identifying such antigens in a biological sample, and of
screening for the presence of such an antigen in a biological specimen,
wherein the tumor antigen identified reacts with serum from a subject
treated with a vaccine comprising a cytokine and
proliferation-incompetent tumor cells which express the tumor-associated
antigen. Also provided are kits for carrying out the methods of the
invention.
