ABSTRACT Antitumor immune responses are mediated primarily by T cells1. Downregulation of the major histocompatiblity complex (MHC) and the molecules that costimulate the immune response is
associated with defective signaling by tumor cells for T-cell activation2–14. _In vitro_ treatment with a combination of cytokines significantly increased the expression of MHC class I and
adhesion molecules on tumor cell surfaces. When tumor cells were first incubated with a bispecific monoclonal antibody that binds antigen on tumor cells to CD28 on T cells, the modified
tumor cells become immunogenic and are able to stimulate naive T cells, generating tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells _in vitro_. Immunization with the modified tumor cells elicits an immune
response mediated by CD8+ T cells. This response protected against a challenge with parental tumor cells and cured established tumors. The approach was effective in both low immunogenic and
nonimmunogenic tumor model systems. Modification of tumor cells with this two-step procedure may provide a strategy for development of tumor vaccines that is effective for cancer
immunotherapy. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution
