Polyvalent melanoma vaccine may stimulate an antitumoral cytotoxic T-cell immune response in the host, resulting in inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and tumor cell death. Vaccines may make the body build an immune response and kill tumor cells. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill tumor cells. Interferon alfa-2b may interfere with the growth of tumor cells. Treatment with this combination may help treat melanoma. 6344 Jie Zheng
