Heat shock proteins (HSP) induce antitumor-specific immunity via a unique mechanism, but HSP alone fails to produce a satisfactory antitumor efficacy. We considered that the potent immune-activation of superantigen (SAg) might assist HSP to elicit a strong tumor-antigen-specific immunity. We initially prepared B16 melanoma cells linked to SAg. SEA-via a fusion protein with a transmembrane sequence (TM), and demonstrated that SEA thus anchored on the tumor cell surface could elicit strong antitumor immunity. We then prepared cells transduced with an inducible heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) gene, and bearing SEA-TM fusion protein on the cell surface, and used these cells as a dual-modified vaccine. In this study, either in a therapeutic setting or in a pre-immune model, the SEA-anchored vaccine or the HSP70 gene-modified vaccine induced marked tumor suppression, prolonged survival, augmented lymphocyte proliferation and higher INK and CTL activity in C57BL/6 mice compared with their controls (P
