      This article delineates the current status of monoclonal antibodies in cancer immunotherapy. Emphasis is placed on different mechanisms of action by which monoclonal antibodies directed against antigens associated with human melanoma and neuroblastoma may influence the development of novel immunotherapy modalities for cancer. This discussion includes a listing of what is expected of these monoclonal antibodies and a description of some of the problems that must be resolved before these expectations can be realized.
