Description:
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/494,398 filed Aug. 12, 2003 which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.  
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
      This invention relates to cancer therapy. More specifically the invention relates to diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant neoplasm as well as pre-cancerous lesions in a living mammal.  
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
      Cancer (malignant neoplasm) is a leading killer disease of mankind and the number two killer of people in the U.S. Each year in the U.S. more than a million people are diagnosed with cancer and half of those will ultimately die from cancer. Cancer generally manifests itself as clinically apparent tumors in tissue which are generally detectable by one or more of PET scans, SPECT scans, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT scans, X-ray imaging and digital mammography. After a clinical diagnosis of cancer is made, a first line treatment is begun.  
      First line treatments include the conventional modalities of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. These treatments can be used individually or in combination with one another. Despite some increasing success, these conventional modalities are not always effective to the degree desired, and intensive research has continued in an attempt to identify more efficacious therapies. Most forms of cancer still remain refractory to these conventional treatment modalities. The major limitation of these present modalities is the unfortunate narrow therapeutic index between normal and malignant neoplastic cells. Therefore it is highly desired to increase the killing of cancer cells and selectively preserve the life of normal cells.  
      Targeting therapies are specifically directed or targeted to cancer cells and are less likely to affect normal cells or normal tissues than do conventional therapies do such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.  
      Antibody-guided immunotargeting therapy is one type of targeting therapies. Key elements of antibody-guided immunotargeting therapy include 1) antigen specificity to tumor or target cells, 2) antibodies specificity to the antigen expressed on tumor or target cells, and 3) efficiency of delivering conjugated complex of antibodies and anti-cancer agents to the cells in a hypoxic area of solid tumor mass.  
      However tumor specificity of antigen or molecules is targeted, heterogeneity of antigen expression, and efficiency of delivering conjugated complex of antibodies and anti-cancer agents to the cells in a hypoxic area of solid tumor mass remain major obstacles for the use of antibody-guided tumor immunotargeting therapy in clinical practice.  
      To improve tumor specificity of targeted antigens, a tremendous effort has been made and continues to be made to identify tumor specific antigens and develop smarter “magic bullets”, i.e., conjugated complex of antibody against tumor specific or associated antigens and cytotoxic or anti-cancer agents. Presently, most antigens identified are tumor-associated antigens, which are expressed in both tumor and normal cells. For example TAG72 antigen was reportedly expressed more prominent in the mucosa adjacent to the tumor than in the tumor tissue and expressed heterogeneously on tumor cells in colon cancer. The antibody CC49 against TAG72 antigen has been used in clinics for cancer treatment. Mixed therapeutic results from CC49 immunotargeting therapy for different kind of cancer has been reported.  
      Recently Herceptin (generic name, Trastuzumab), Rituxan and Compath have shown promise in clinical trials for the treatment of breast cancer, malignant lymphoma and leukemia respectively. However, human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), target molecule of Herceptin (antibody), was expressed only in one third of patients with breast cancer. Rituxan and Compath are antibodies that bind to CD20 and CD52 antigen on the surface of lymphoma and leukemia cells respectively as well as on normal lymphocyte. Those drugs, Rituxan and Compath, kill lymphoma and leukemia cells but also deplete normal lymphocyte as well.  
      The weaknesses of current tumor immunotargeting therapy that need to be improved include tumor specificity, homogeneity (antigen expression heterogeneously on targeted cells) and efficiency of delivering “magic bullet” to cells in a hypoxic area of solid tumor masses. Smarter “magic bullets” and an enhanced delivery system remain urgently needed.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
      The inventor reports for the first time his isolation, purification (peptide) and characterization of HICSP protein having utility as an enhanced assay and therapeutic treatment for cancer and as a research tool. In an aspect the treatment comprises a hypertherrnia-based tumor immunotargeting diagnosis and therapy treatment regime treatment based on intentional hyperthermia and increased expression of HICSP protein. This discovery possesses credible, specific and substantial utility. The HICSP protein having Seq. Id No 2 is a target in diagnosis/treatment for benign and malignant tumors and precancerous lesions.  
      One aspect of this invention provides a functional method of diagnosis of the presence of benign and malignant tumors and precancerous lesions in a living mammal such as in a living human. The process involves providing a therapeutic antibody or binding portion thereof, probe, or ligand which binds to a portion of the protein. The protein itself is expressed by the intentional application of sufficient heat via hypothermia therapeutic means to a living human under conditions sufficient to induce the production of a protein serving as a biomarker wherein the presence of such protein is indicative of the presence of cancer in that living mammal.  
      More particularly a heat-inducible cell surface protein (HICSP) induced and/or accumulated by cell stress including stress from moderate hyperthermia (a temperature ranging from about 39° C. to about 42.5° C.) has been identified, characterized and isolated. HICSP (including a fragment, epitope thereof) is provocative i.e. it is functionally capable of triggering a mammalian immune defense system and producing antibodies in the presence of the protein. The HICSP protein and use of the characterizations thereof are extremely useful in that they provide a basis for novel methods of diagnosing and treating cancer and assessing the risk of cancer as herein described. Novel antibodies have been generated in connection therewith, which are useful as self-directed novel antibodies to use as guides to selectively diagnose, attack, target, locate and therapeutically treat cancer cells.  
      In a further aspect, the invention includes an isolated, purified and characterized gene comprising a gene sharing at least a 90% homology with a gene comprising a polynucleotide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 1. In an aspect, the invention includes an isolated protein comprising a protein sharing at least 90% homology with a protein comprising a polypeptide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 2.  
      In practice of this invention a gene which encodes and expresses the HICPS protein is deliberately effectively induced to express the HICPS protein above its background or normal expression level in a process which comprises applying finite heat to living cells, tissues, organs or a whole body for a time and in an amount effective and sufficient to cause activation of that gene with the resulting production of the HICPS protein. In an aspect the gene comprises a polynucleotide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 1 and the encoded protein (HICPS) comprises a polypeptide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 2.  
      Upon expression of the HICSP protein, one obtains a sample of the locus of that expressed protein, assays the sample for the presence of the expressed products of mRNA and protein of the gene and from that assay determines that the identified location of HICSP marks the location or locus of the tumor. The inventor has also discovered methods to tailor and customize drug therapy for cancer, methods to assess the risk to a mammal of bearing cancer and methods to assess the proliferation of a cancer in a mammal using this discovery.

      A method and apparatus for performing selective intentional environmentally controlled and predetermined hyperthermia of a selected living mammal is carried out by placing that mammal in sufficient effective spatial proximity to a capably enabled functional Apparatus suitable and configurably enable to delivered an intentional controlled amount of energy to a mammal creating conditions effective to enable the carrying out of this discovery. In an aspect the apparatus is placed in sufficient effective spatial proximity to the mammal desired to be treated as a patient herein.  
      If desired the hyperthermia regime may be programmed into a computer equipped with a chip and software and communicative hardware to a hyperthermic apparatus and the mammal presented as a patient and recipient of the heat energy thereto. Once the desired or predetermined amount of heat energy has been capably delivered to the mammal, the unit is shut off and the mammal removed from spatial proximity to the apparatus or the apparatus removed from the spatial area of the mammal.  
      In an aspect, deliberately induced hyperthermia procedures include using a controlled systemic procedure for inducing hyperthermia to a living mammal.  
      A myriad of useful effective hyperthermic therapies can be used including one or more of whole body hyperthermia (WBH), superficial hyperthermia (SHT), loco-regional deep hyperthermia (DHT), intracavitary/peritoneal hyperthermic perfusion, intratumor hyperthermia (high frequency induced thermotherapy, intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion treatment, surface hyperthermia, intracavity hyperthermia, interstitial hyperthermia, prostatic thermotherapy and extracorporeal hyperthermia.  
      Typically however, hyperthermia is classified as local, regional, and whole-body hyperthermia (VVBH), all of which use external and internal heating devices and methods.  
      Living mammals typically self-control their core body temperature between narrow limits which enable them to be independent of other fluctuations in their surrounding non self-controllable environmental temperature. This is needed because enzymes are quite sensitive to changes in body core temperature. Typically those animals including mammals belong to a group called homeothermic, but at times it seems that most animals should be endotherms since they are able to maintain core body temperatures which remain remarkable constant. This discovery however involves a method and use of an apparatus which successfully produces an intentional controlled high body core mammalian safe temperature excursion for a time sufficient to carry out this discovery. Thereafter the energy input to the mammal inducing the intentional hyperthermia is shut off and the animals body core temperature returns to its normal operating range. This discovery is useful for such endotherm living mammals.  
      In this discovery the temperature excursion is such that the amount of temperature excursion is in the range from about 40° C. for 1 or 2 hrs to about 41° C. for 40 minutes or 1 hr and preferably from about 40° C. to about 41° C. above the mammal&#39;s statistically determinated core body temperature endothermic range.  
      Local hyperthermia refers to heat that is applied to a small area, such as a tumor. The area may be heated externally with high-frequency waves aimed at the tumor from a device outside the body. To achieve internal local heating, one of several types of sterile probes may be used, including thin, heated wires or hollow tubes filled with warm water; implanted microwave antennae and radiofrequency electrodes. Intratumoral hyperthermia is a local hyperthermia procedure for treating tumor diseases usually treatable by surgery. In an aspect, a special needle is inserted into the tumor and high frequency induced heat is applied to the local tumor. In an aspect, radiowaves are sent through small needles into a solid tumor.  
      Localized topical (i.e. superficial) hyperthermia includes heating cells with use of radiofrequency or microwave hyperthermal, infrared hyperthermia or ultrasound hyperthermia using ablation or lasers.  
      In such local hyperthermia applications, microwave, radio frequency and ultrasound may be used. In an aspect, microwave probes are placed in a mammalian body as the microwaves are applied and directed to solid tumors that range from about 1 cm to about 3 cm below the skin surface.  
      Generally a treatable tumor depth is in the range from an outer skin surface to an internal depth of about 8 cm below the outer skin surface. In an aspect, solid tumors are treated which are located in the chest wall, axilla, head, neck, breast, groin and tumors located in and beneath the mammalian skin. This includes melanoma and other skin cancers.  
      In regional hyperthermia, a mammalian organ or a limb is intentionally heated as a part of this discovery Magnets and devices that produce high energy are placed over the organ or limb to be heated. In another approach, termed extracorporal and referred to as hyperthermic perfusion, a selected portion (regional) of the living patient&#39;s blood is deliberately and controllably removed from the patient&#39;s body, heated and then pumped (perfused) into the region that is to be heated internally so that the patient&#39;s blood is heated. The warmed blood is returned to the patient&#39;s vascular system as part of the extracorporal blood heating system and process. Generally the extracorporal system is a continuously circulating system so that a steady state heating and circulation is maintained for patient comfort and survivability.  
      In whole body hyperthermia, hyperthermia is induced as a whole body systemic low temperature sustained hyperthermia such as in infrared saunas, infrared ozone sauna, fever therapy induced from biological injection such as BCG vaccine, Coley&#39;s toxins and mistle extract (viscum). However generally the hyperthermia treatment comprises high frequency radio waves directed to a living mammal which produces heat in a solid tumor in that mammal. In an aspect, during hyperthermia, extensive monitoring of the body internal and external temperatures is carried out using a three dimension deep heating phased array which is capable of imagining simultaneously with deep focused and regional heating to the mammal.  
      Generally intentional whole body hyperthermia (WBH) is used to heat the whole living mammalian body to a desired temperature which is held for minutes or further heated or held only in a selected temperature range for a short but sustained time. In such a WBH setting the mammalian patient is thermally isolated and infrared heat of different ranges of wavelengths is deposited on superficial tissues of the mammalian body until the desired temperature is achieved. During the application of hyperthermia typically the core body temperature is measured and carefully maintained.  
      Generally WBH is used in cases of metastatic cancer. Additional useful heating means include warm-water blankets, hot wax, inductive coils (such as those in electric blankets), or thermal chambers (similar to large incubators).  
      In a further aspect regarding WBH, medical doctors use the pyrogen Vacineurin or alpha-Interferon to stimulate fever. During such stimulation the mammal patient is carefully and constantly monitored by an intensive care unit complete with blood pressure, pulse and 3-channel ECG (electrocardiogram) In this aspect, the body temperature is raised moderately or extensively to the maximum by controlled deliberate exposure to infrared heat sourced in a special hyperthermia bed. The patient&#39;s head remains outside of the unit and is continuously cooled. Core body temperature, blood pressure, heart rhythm and oxygen saturation are monitored and strictly controlled in an intensive care unit.  
      In another aspect, WBH is induced in a mammal patient by infrared radiation by using a Medproducts unit (Medtronic World Headquarters, 710 Medtronic Parkway, Minneapolis, Minn. 55432-5604). The unit comprises a radiation unit on mobile stand, adjustable in height, whole body cabin, frame and insulated blankets with special head and eye protection for the mammal. In another aspect, a human body cabin is used having a stretcher or body support facility inside the unit. The human patient&#39;s temperature is raised by its absorbing radiant energy from the surface of the cabin.  
      Intentional controlled hyperthermia is advantageously used in large measure due to the recent development of multi-antenna applicators including their transforming networks and implementation of extensive dedicated systems for monitoring of E fields, e.g. electro optical sensors. Useful radiant heating devices for such exogenous increasing of mammal (patient) body-core temperatures including the enthermics Medical Systems and Aquatherm units which make use of a temperature (about 60° C.) hot cylinder around the mammal patients with 90% relative humidity of air. In an aspect, the cylinder emits long wave infrared-C radiation to the patient. A spectrum of long wave visible and adjacent infrared range (760-1400 mn) penetrate the skin layers.  
      Typical useful directed heating chambers for deliberately inducing controlled environment whole body hyperthermia include chambers for applying a finite amount of heat to a patient under carefully controlled conditions. An illustrative useful directed controlled heating chamber is manufactured and sold by Labthermics Technologies, Inc., 701 Devonshire Drive, Champaign, Ill. 61820, see  http://www.labthermics.com . In an aspect, a useful microwave system for hyperthermia includes BSO Medical Systems, Salt Lake City, Utah, see  http://www.bsdme.com . Such heating chambers are typically computer controlled with an operating computer, suitably equipped with functional software and capably instruction and communication enable to the heating chamber so as to provide an intentional induced heating under controlled conditions.  
      The intentional controlled hyperthermic treatment is generally carried out following a temperature-time protocol. Useful temperature time protocols include those where there is a constant temperature, time varied, patient varied and equipment varied hyperthermic heating of the living mammal as a function of time. If desired the protocol includes cycling of the application of heat, sequentially heating the mammal or staging the heating depending on the mammal&#39;s physiological response to hyperthermia treatment. The application of heat may be slow or rapidly ramped up.  
      In an aspect whole body hyperthermia is carried out along with immunotherapy. In an aspect the immunotherapy is carried out after the hyperthermia is complete or substantially complete. In an aspect the hyperthermia may be repeated and the immunotherapy may be repeated in a novel treatment regime.  
      In an aspect, a whole body intentional controlled pre-determined hyperthermia immunotherapy protocol comprises: 1) heating a mammalian patient at about 40° C. to about 41° C. for about 30 minutes to about 1 hr and then administrating conjugated antibodies against protein comprising polypeptides having Seq. Id. No. 2. 2) Repeating heat strategies: a) heating at 41° C. for at least 3 times with 24 hr interval, each time for an hour; b) heating at 41° C. at least for 3 times with 48 hr interval, each time for an hour; c)) heating at 41° C. at least for 3 times with unscheduled interval, each time for 30 minutes to an hour.  
      In an aspect, a non-invasive method of using a gene comprising a polynucleotide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 1 as a tumor locating agent in the treatment of cancer comprises: 
          applying heat to a tissue locus containing a suspected tumor in an amount and for amount of time effective to activate the gene and forming a treated tissue locus,     obtaining a sample of the locus by method of taking biopsy,     analyzing the sample for the presence of the products, mRNA and protein, of the gene comprising a polynucleotide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 1 and     determining that the presence marks the location or locus of the tumor.        

      In an aspect, a non-invasive method of using antibodies binding to a protein, comprising a polypeptide having as a sequence a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 2 as a tumor locating agent in the treatment of cancer comprises: 
          applying heat to a tissue locus containing a suspected benign and malignant tumor and precancerous lesion in an amount and for amount of time effective to induce expression of the protein forming a treated tissue locus,     obtaining a representative sample of the locus by a method of taking biopsy.     analyzing the sample for the presence of a protein comprising a polypeptide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 2 and     determining that the presence marks the location or locus of the tumor and     performing an imaging diagnosis by giving a subject conjugated antibodies with radioisotope. In an aspect the antibody binds to a protein comprising a polypeptide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 2.        

      In another aspect, an effective amount of conjugated antibodies against protein comprising polypeptides having Seq. Id. No. 2 can be administrated immediately before and after hyperthermia, or the same time as hypothermia.  
      Advantageously from a time view point the biological marker HICSP for tumor immunotargeting therapy can be induced and/or accumulated by such hyperthermic heating at 40° C. to 41° C. for as little as about 30 minutes. Once the HICSP biological marker is induced and/or accumulated it can be maintained on cell surface for at least 1 hour and continuously increased after heating.  
      A temperature of 41° C. is homogenously achievable on a solid tumor on body surface in a clinic. 41° C. is also achievable to the tumor in a deep site of the body by heating probe (interstitial therapy) in clinic. Furthermore whole body hyperthermia (fever range) is therapeutically tolerable (i.e. survivable to that patient without lingering injury) and in that situation the novel hyperthermia-based tumor immunotargeting therapy herein is also suitable for the patients with blood malignant tumors and metastasis.  
      In an aspect this discovery, the biological marker HICSP for tumor immunotargeting therapy is deliberately manipulated by different time and heating protocols such as repeatedly heating to maximum HICSP expression in patients with cancer that do not increase the expression of HICSP by initial heating at 41° C. for about 30 minute or one hour.  
      Applicant has discovered the HICSP biomarker and its use for noninvasively diagnosing a living mammal for cancer to determine whether cancer has localized and if so, to determining that localization. This is an important advantage of this discovery in that the following therapy can be site directed to that localization thus saving valuable diagnostic and therapy time and hopefully saving that patient&#39;s life.

      In an aspect, immunological binding assays (described hereinafter) are employed to assay for the presence of HICSP as an adjunctive assay relating to effective safe hyperthermia and in the production of (self directed) antibodies which recognize HICPS60.  
      As noted above, immunotherapy can be administered following intentional controlled safe therapeutic hyperthermia. In an aspect as part of immunotherapy novel monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal targeted to cell surface novel protein comprising a polypeptide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 2 are administered to a mammal as a selective carrier of toxins, chemotherapeutic agents or radionuclides employed to diagnose and/or treat cancer.  
      In an in vivo approach, antibodies are administered to a patient by administering an immunotherapeutic composition as a pharmaceutical composition to the mammal. Typically the administration is carried out in a therapeutically effective manner and amount to a subject that has a tumor. Such an in vivo administration can provide at least one beneficial physiological effect selected from the group consisting of decreased number of tumor cells, decreased metastasis, decreased size of one or more solid tumors, increased necrosis of a tumor, decreased rate of spread of the tumor.  
      In an aspect, monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are prepared that react with i.e. recognize a protein comprising a polypeptide having Seq. Id. No. 2 on cancer cells in accordance with accepted laboratory practice. (A useful Monocolonal antibody production is described in Monoclonal Antibody Production, A Report of the Committee on Methods of Producing Monoclonal Antibodies Institute for Laboratory Animal Research National Research council, National Academy Press, Washington D.C. 1999 which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.) Monoclonal antibody therapy is a passive immunotherapy as the antibodies are produced in a laboratory rather than by living mammal immune system itself.  
      In an aspect, monoclonal antibodies are produced in a mouse which is immunized by injection of an antigen (e.g. a protein comprising a polypeptide having Seq. Id. No. 2) to stimulate the production of antibodies targeted against that antigen in the mouse. (see Kohier &amp; Milstein,  Eur. J Immunol.  6:511-519 (1976)).  
      In an aspect, the antibody forming cells are isolated (i.e. harvested) from the mouse&#39;s spleen. Monoclonal antibodies (hybridomas) are produced by fusing the single antibody-forming cells to inhibit tumor (cancer) cells grown in culture.  
      Alternative methods of immortalization include transformation with Epstein Barr Virus, oncogenes, or retroviruses, or other methods well known in the art. In an aspect, colonies arising from single immortalized cells are screened for production of antibodies of the desired specificity and affinity for the antigen, and yield of the monoclonal antibodies produced by such cells may be enhanced by various techniques, including injection into the peritoneal cavity of a vertebrate host. Alternatively, one may isolate DNA sequences which encode a monoclonal antibody or a binding fragment thereof by screening a DNA library from human B cells according to the general protocol outlined by Huse et al.,  Science  246:1275-1281 (1989).  
      After reading this specification those of skill in the art will recognize methods of producing polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies that can react specifically with HICSP (see, e.g., Coligan,  Current Protocols in Immunology  (1991); Harlow &amp; Lane, supra; Goding,  Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Practice  (2d ed. 1986); and Kohier &amp; Milstein,  Nature,  256:495-497 (1975) and (see, e.g, Huse et al.,  Science  246:1275-1281 (1989); Ward et al.,  Nature  341:544-546 (1989)). Monoclonal antibody production may be effected by techniques which are well-known in the art. Basically, the process involves first obtaining immune cells (lymphocytes) from the spleen of a mammal (e.g., mouse) which has been previously immunized with the antigen of interest either in vivo or in vitro. The antibody-secreting lymphocytes are then fused with (mouse) myeloma cells or transformed cells, which are capable of replicating indefinitely in cell culture, thereby producing an immortal, immunoglobulin-secreting cell line. The resulting fused cells, or hybridomas, are cultured, and the resulting colonies screened for the production of the desired monoclonal antibodies. Colonies producing such antibodies are cloned, and grown either in vivo or in vitro to produce large quantities of antibody. A description of the theoretical basis and practical methodology of fusing such cells is set forth in Kohler and Milstein, Nature 256:495 (1975), which is hereby incorporated by reference.  
      Mammalian lymphocytes are immunized by in vivo immunization of the animal (e.g., a mouse) with the protein or polypeptide of the present invention. Such immunizations are repeated as necessary at intervals of up to several weeks to obtain a sufficient titer of antibodies. Following the last antigen boost, the animals are sacrificed and spleen cells removed.  
      Fusion with mammalian myeloma cells or other fusion partners capable of replicating indefinitely in cell culture is effected by standard and well-known techniques, for example, by using polyethylene glycol (“PEG”) or other fusing agents (See Milstein and Kohler, Eur. J. Immunol. 6:511 (1976), which is hereby incorporated by reference). This immortal cell line, which is preferably murine, but may also be derived from cells of other mammalian species, including but not limited to rats and humans, is selected to be deficient in enzymes necessary for the utilization of certain nutrients, to be capable of rapid growth, and to have good fusion capability. Many such cell lines are known to those skilled in the art, and others are regularly described.  
      Procedures for raising polyclonal antibodies. Such antibodies can be raised by administering the protein or polypeptide of the present invention subcutaneously to New Zealand white rabbits which have first been bled to obtain pre-immune serum. The antigens can be injected at a total volume of 100 .mu.l per site at six different sites. Each injected material will contain synthetic surfactant adjuvant pluronic polyols, or pulverized acrylamide gel containing the protein or polypeptide after SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The rabbits are then bled two weeks after the first injection and periodically boosted with the same antigen three times every six weeks. A sample of serum is then collected 10 days after each boost. Polyclonal antibodies are then recovered from the serum by affinity chromatography using the corresponding antigen to capture the antibody. Ultimately, the rabbits 20 are euthenized with pentobarbital 150 mg/Kg IV. This and other procedures for raising polyclonal antibodies are disclosed in E. Harlow, et. al., editors, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual (1988), which is hereby incorporated by reference.  
      In an aspect an immunogen is used to produce antibodies that specifically react and recognize with HICSP. For example, recombinant HICSP or a antigenic fragment thereof such as the core or tail domain, is isolated. Using the sequence listing herein, a recombinant protein can be expressed in eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells, and purified using a vector and a host cell. Recombinant protein is the preferred immunogen for the production of monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies. Alternatively, a synthetic peptide derived from the sequences disclosed herein and conjugated to a carrier protein can be used an immunogen. Naturally occurring protein may also be used either in pure or impure form. The product is then injected into an animal capable of producing antibodies. Either monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies may be generated, for subsequent use in immunoassays to measure the HICSP protein.  
      More in detail, methods generally producing polyclonal antibodies are known to those of skill in the art. An inbred strain of mice or rabbits is immunized with the protein using a standard adjuvant, such as Freund&#39;s adjuvant, and a standard immunization protocol. The animal&#39;s immune response to the immunogen preparation is monitored by taking test bleeds and determining the titer of reactivity to HICPS. When appropriately high titers of antibody to the immunogen are obtained, blood is collected from the animal and antisera are prepared. Further fractionation of the antisera to enrich for antibodies reactive to the protein can be done if desired (see Harlow &amp; Lane, supra). In as aspect, monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal sera are collected and tittered against the immunogen protein HICSP in an immunoassay, for example, a solid phase immunoassay with the immunogen HICSP immobilized on a solid support. Polyclonal antisera with a titer of 10 4  or greater are selected and tested for their cross reactivity against non-HICSP protein or even other homologous proteins from other organisms, using a competitive binding immunoassay. Specific polyclonal antisera and monoclonal antibodies will usually bind with a K D  of at least about 0.1 mM, more usually at least about 1 μM, preferably at least about 0.1 μM or better, and most preferably, 0.01 μM or better.  
      For a review of immunological and immunoassay procedures, see Basic and Clinical Immunology (Stites &amp; Terr eds., 7th ed. 1991). Moreover, the immunoassays of the present invention can be performed in any of several configurations, which are reviewed extensively in Enzyme Immunoassay (Maggio, ed., 1980); and Harlow &amp; Lane, supra.  
      In an aspect, immunological binding assays are employed to assay for the presence of HICSP. In an aspect such assays are employed to determine the presence of HICSP during and after hyperthermia.  
      In an embodiment, HICSP is detected and/or quantified using any of a number of well recognized immunological binding assays (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,366,241; 4,376,110; 4,517,288; and 4,837,168). For a review of the general immunoassays, see also Methods in Cell Biology Volume 37: Antibodies in Cell Biology (Asai, ed. 1993); Basic and Clinical Immunology (Stites &amp; Terr, eds., 7th ed. 1991). Immunological binding assays (or immunoassays) typically utilize a “capture agent” to specifically bind to and often immobilize the analyte (in this case the HICPS or antigenic subsequence thereof). The capture agent is a moiety that specifically binds to the analyte. The antibody (anti-HICSP) may be produced by any of a number of means well known to those of skill in the art and as described above.  
      Throughout the assays, incubation and/or washing steps may be required after each combination of reagents. Incubation steps can vary from about 5 seconds to about several hours, preferably from about 5 minutes to about 24 hours. However, the incubation time will depend upon the assay format, analyte, volume of solution, concentrations, and the like. Usually, the assays will be carried out at ambient temperature, although they can be conducted over a range of temperatures, such as 10° C. to 40° C.  
      In competitive assays, the amount of HICSP (analyte) present in the sample is measured indirectly by measuring the amount of an added (exogenous) analyte (i.e., the HICSP) displaced (or competed away) from a capture agent (anti-HICSP antibody) by the analyte present in the sample. In one competitive assay, a known amount of, in this case, the HICSP is added to the sample and the sample is then contacted with a capture agent, in this case an antibody that specifically binds to the HICSP. The amount of HICSP bound to the antibody is inversely proportional to the concentration of HICSP present in the sample. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the antibody is immobilized on a solid substrate. The amount of the HICSP bound to the antibody may be determined either by measuring the amount of HICSP present in a HICSP/antibody complex, or alternatively by measuring the amount of remaining uncomplexed protein. The amount of HICSP may be detected by providing a labeled HICSP molecule.  
      In an aspect, the immunoabsorbed and pooled antisera are then used in a competitive binding immunoassay as described above to compare a second protein, thought to be perhaps the protein of this invention, to the immunogen protein (i.e., HICSP having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 2). In order to make this comparison, the two proteins are each assayed at a wide range of concentrations and the amount of each protein required to inhibit 50% of the binding of the antisera to the immobilized protein is determined. If the amount of the second protein required to inhibit 50% of binding is less than 10 times the amount of the protein partially encoded by Seq. Id. No. 2 that is required to inhibit 50% of binding, then the second protein is said to specifically bind to the polyclonal antibodies generated to a HICSP immunogen.  
      In an aspect, a kit contains primary antibody, secondary antibody that conjugated with detectable markers, like fluorescence (FITC etc.) and alkaline phosphatase. The secondary antibody is the antibody against primary antibody. Block buffer 10% serum of the species generated secondary antibody in PBS (phosphate buffered saline) or 10% BSA (bovine serum albumin). In this case primary antibody is the rabbit antibody against HICSP protein and secondary antibody should be goat, donkey etc anti-rabbit immuno-globulin. The blocking buffer should be 10% goat or donkey serum in PBS.  
      In an aspect, a kit contains primary antibody only, no secondary antibody that conjugated with detectable markers, like fluorescence (FITC etc.) and Alkaline phosphatase in it. Instead the primary antibody was conjugated with detective markers such as fluorescence (FITC etc) Block buffer is 10% BSA (bovine serum albumin) or 10% serum of the species from which antibody was generated. In this case primary antibody is the rabbit antibody against HICSP protein. The blocking buffer should be 10% BSA (bovine serum albumin) or rabbit serum or donkey serum in PBS.  
      It is often desirable to minimize non-specific binding in immunoassays, particularly, where the assay involves an antigen or antibody immobilized on a solid substrate it is desirable to minimize the amount of nonspecific binding to the substrate. Means of reducing such non-specific binding are well known to those of skill in the art. Typically, this technique involves coating the substrate with a proteinaceous composition. In particular, protein compositions such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), nonfat powdered milk, and gelatin are widely used with powdered milk being most preferred.  
      In an aspect, a procedure of transfecting a gene comprising polynucleotide having Seq. Id No. 1. is hereinafter in detail:  
      The day before transfection, culture cells in dish; Dilute suitable amount DNA (how much amount depending on what culture format to be used, like 96 well plate, 48 well plate etc.) dissolved in TE buffer with DNA-condensation buffer to a suitable amount; Incubate at room temperature (15° C.-25° C.) for about 2to about 5 minutes then spin down the mixture for a few seconds to remove drops from the top of the tube; Add suitable amount of Effectan Transfection Reagent to the DNA-Enhancer mixture; Qiagen, 27220 Tumberry Lane, Suite 200, Valencia, Calif. 91355, USA.  
      Incubate the samples for 5-10 minutes at room temperature to allow transfection-complex formation. While the complex formation take place, gently aspirate the grow medium from the plate, and wash cells once with suitable amount of Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS).  
      Then add suitable amount of fresh growth medium. Add suitable amount medium to the tube containing the transfection complexes; After mixing, add the transfection complex to the tissue culture dish. Incubate the cells with the transfection complexes under their normal growth conditions for an appropriate time for expression of the transfected gene. The incubation time is determined by the assay and gene used; For transient transfection, assay cells for expression of the transfected gene; For stable transfection, passage cells 1:5 to 1:10 into the appropriate selective medium about 24-48 hours after transfection. Maintain cells in selective medium until colonies appear.  
      In an aspect, a monoclonal antibody is prepared and used as a specific probe to track down and purify the specific antigen (protein) that induced its formation thereby pinpointing the locus of the cancer. In an aspect, corresponding polyclonal antibodies are generated utilizing a sequence of amino acid as immunogens. Polyclonal antibodies are characterized as antibodies having multiple binding sites.  
      In an aspect, naked monoclonal, naked polyclonal, conjugated monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are useful in cancer treatments in this invention.  
      Without being bound by theory it is believed that the naked monoclonal antibodies and naked polyclonal antibodies attach themselves to the novel protein (comprising a polypeptide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 1) on the surface of cancer cells. In an aspect, the novel naked monoclonal antibodies are “said” to be associated with this novel protein (HICSP).  
      Conjugated monoclonal and conjugated polyclonal antibodies are especially useful herein in that they can be used for treating cancer by administering a lethal effective amount of anti-cancer agent or radiolabeled antibody comprising a conjugated antibody binding to a tissue locus presenting as a target thereto a protein comprising a polypeptide having a sequence shown in Seq.

      Conjugated monoclonal antibodies are those that are joined to a chemotherapy drug, radioactive particle, or a toxin (a substance that poisons cells). In an aspect, the toxin is a cancer cytotoxin.  
      As used herein, “conjugated monoclonal antibodies” are those antibodies that are individually joined to drugs, toxins, or radioactive atoms, and used as delivery vehicles to transport drugs, toxins, or radioactive atoms to the cancer cells via the mammalian vascular system. Conjugated antibodies MAbs are also sometimes referred to as conjugated Mabs, and “tagged,” “labeled,” or “loaded.” MAbs with chemotherapy drugs attached are generally referred to as chemolabeled.  
      As to the latter, useful drugs cytotoxic to cancer which comprise a portion of a monoclonal and polyclonal conjugated antibody (chemolabeled antibody) include aldesleukin, alemtuzumab, alitretinoin, allopurinol, altretamine, amifostine, amifostine, anastrozole, anastrozole, arsenic trioxide, BCG Live, bexarotene, bleomycin, calusterone, capecitabine, carboplatin, carmustine, celecoxib, chlorambucil, cisplatin, cladribine, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, dacarbazine, cdactinomycin, carbepoetin alfa, daunorubicin liposomal, denileukin diftitox, dexrazoxane, docetaxel, doxorubicin, dromostanolone, Elliot&#39;s B solution, epirubicin, epoetin alfa, estramustine, etoposide phosphate, exemestane, Filgrastim, floxuridine, fludarabine, fulvestrant, gemcitabine, gemtuzumab, gosereling acetate, hydroxyurea, Ibritumomab Tiuxetan, idarubicin , ifosfamide, imatinig mesylate, Interferon alfa-2a, Interferon alfa-2b, irinotecan, letrozole, leucovorin, levamisole, mechlorethamine, megestrol acetate, melphalan, L-PAM, mercaptopurine 6-MP, mesna, methotrexate, methoxsalen, mitomycin C, mitotane, mitoxantrone, Androlone phenpropionate, Nefetumomab, Oprelvekin, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel, pamidronate, pegademase, Pegaspargase, pegfilgrastim, entostatin, pipobroman, plicamycin mithramycin, porfimer sodium, procarbazine, quinacrine, Rasburicase, Rituximab, Sargramostim, streptozocin, talc, tamoxifen, Trastuzumab, tretinoin ATRA, uracil mustard, valrubicin, vinblastine, tamoxifen, temozolomide, teniposide VM-26, testolactone, thioguanine 6-TG, thiotepa, topotecan, toremifene, Tositumomab, vincristine, vinorelbine and zoledronate.  
      MAbs with radioactive particles attached are referred to as radiolabeled, and this type of therapy is known as radioimmunotherapy (“RIT”). Mabs may be employed to detect, diagnose and treat cancer herein as an immunotherapy. Such radiolabeled antibodies can be used to detect areas of cancer spread in the body as functional radionuclides.  
      A tumor may be imaged or treated in a mammal by a process which comprises administering to the mammal a tumor imaging amount or tumor toxic amount of a detectably radiolabeled antibody binding to a protein comprising a polypeptide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 2.  
      A tumor may be treated in a mammal by a process which comprises administering to the mammal a tumor toxic amount of antibody conjugated with nanoparticles that contain therapeutic reagent or temperature sensitive liposome particles which contain therapeutic reagent. The conjugated antibodies bind to a protein comprising a polypeptide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 2.  
      Temperature sensitive liposome particles are sensitive to moderate hyperthermia (ranging from 39° C. to 42.5° C.). Therapeutic reagents will be released from the particles by continuously heating or repeat heating after initial heating and administering the conjugated antibody.  
      The radiolabels may be incorporated into the antibodies by any of a number of means well known to those of skill in the art. However, in a preferred embodiment, the label is simultaneously incorporated during the amplification step in the preparation of the nucleic acids. Thus, for example, polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) with labeled primers or labeled nucleotides will provide a labeled amplification product. In another preferred embodiment, transcription amplification using a labeled nucleotide (e.g., fluorescein-labeled UTP and/or CTP) incorporates a label into the transcribed nucleic acids.  
      Alternatively, a label may be added directly to an original nucleic acid sample (e.g., mRNA, poly A +  mRNA, cDNA, etc.) or to the amplification product after the amplification is completed. Means of attaching labels to nucleic acids are well known to those of skill in the art and include, for example, nick translation or end-labeling (e.g., with a labeled RNA) by phosphorylation of the nucleic acid and subsequent attachment (ligation) of a nucleic acid linker joining the sample nucleic acid to a label (e.g., a fluorophore).  
      The particular label or detectable group used in the assay is not a critical aspect of the invention, as long as it does not significantly interfere with the specific binding of the antibody used in the assay.  
      Non-radioactive labels are often attached by indirect means. Generally, a ligand molecule (e.g., biotin) is covalently bound to the molecule. The ligand then binds to an anti-ligand (e.g., streptavidin) molecule which is either inherently detectable or covalently bound to a signal system, such as a detectable enzyme, a fluorescent compound, or a chemiluminescent compound.  
      The molecules can also be conjugated directly to signal generating compounds, e.g., by conjugation with an enzyme or fluorophore.  
      Detectable labels suitable for use in the present invention include any composition detectable by spectroscopic, radioisotopic, photochemical, biochemical, immunochemical, electrical, optical or chemical means. Useful labels in the present invention include biotin for staining with labeled streptavidin conjugate, magnetic beads, fluorescent dyes (e.g., fluorescein, texas red, rhodamine, green fluorescent protein, and the like), radiolabels (e.g.,  3 H,  125 I  35 S,  14 C, or  32 P), enzymes (e.g., horse radish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase and others commonly used in an ELISA), and colorimetric labels such as colloidal gold or colored glass or plastic (e.g., polystyrene, polypropylene, latex, etc.) beads. Patents teaching the use of such labels include U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,817,837; 3,850,752; 3,939,350; 3,996,345; 4,277,437; 4,275,149; and 4,366,241 all of which are incorporated herein in their respective entirety by reference.

Procedures for .sup.99m Tc-labeling are described by Rhodes, B. et al. in Burchiel, S. et al. (eds.), Tumor Imaging: The Radioimmunochemical Detection of Cancer, New York: Masson 111-123 (1982) and the references cited therein, which are hereby incorporated by reference. Procedures suitable for sup.111 In-labeling biological agents are described by Hnatowich, D. J. et al., J. Immul. Methods, 65:147-157 (1983), Hnatowich, D. et al., J. Applied Radiation, 35:554-557 (1984), and Buckley, R. G. et al., F.E.B.S. 166:202-204 (1984), which are hereby incorporated by reference.  
      In the case of a radiolabeled biological agent, the biological agent is administered to the patient, is localized to the tumor bearing the antigen with which the biological agent reacts, and is detected or “imaged” in vivo using known techniques such as radionuclear scanning using e.g., a gamma camera or emission tomography. See e.g., A. R. Bradwell et al., “Developments in Antibody Imaging”, Monoclonal Antibodies for Cancer Detection and Therapy, R. W. Baldwin et al., (eds.), pp. 65-85 (Academic Press 1985), which is hereby incorporated by reference. Alternatively, a positron emission transaxial tomography scanner, such as designated Pet VI located at Brookhaven National Laboratory, can be used where the radiolabel emits positrons (e.g., .sup. 11 C, sup. 18 F, sup. 15O, and sup.13 N).  
      Means of detecting such labels are well known to those of skill in the art. Thus, for example, radiolabels may be detected using photographic film or scintillation counters; fluorescent markers may be detected using a photodetector to detect emitted light. Enzymatic labels are typically detected by providing the enzyme with a substrate and detecting the reaction product produced by the action of the enzyme on the substrate, and colorimetric labels are detected by simply visualizing the colored label.  
      Any metallic radioisotope capable of being detected in a diagnostic procedure can be employed to prepare a functional radionuclide.  
      Any metallic radioisotope capable of being detected in a PET or SPECT diagnostic imagining procedure can be employed as a functional radionuclide. Suitable nonlimiting examples of useful radionuclides include: Actinium- 225 , Astatine- 211 , Bismuth- 212 , Bismuth- 213 , Bromine- 75 , Bromine- 76 , Carbon- 11 , Cerium- 141 , Chromium- 51 , Copper- 60 , Copper- 61 , Copper- 62 , Copper- 64 , Copper- 67 , Dysprosium- 166 , Fluorine- 18 , Gadolinium- 152 , Gadolinium- 153 , Gold- 195 m, Holmium- 166 , Indium- 111 , Indium- 113m , Iodine- 123 , Iodine- 124 , Iodine- 121 , Iron- 55 , Iron- 59 , Lutetium- 177 , Nitrogen- 13 , Oxygen- 15 , Palladium- 103 , Radium- 223 , Radium- 224 , Rhenium- 186 , Rhenium- 188 , Rubidium- 81 , Rubidium- 82 , Rubidium- 86 , Ruthenium- 103 , Ruthenium- 106 , Samarium- 153 , Scandium- 46 , Tantalum- 178 , Technetium- 94m , Technetium- 99m , Thallium- 201 , Titanium- 45 , Ytterbium- 169 , Yttrium- 86 , Yttrium- 90 , and Zirconium- 89 . In an aspect technetium-99m is used for SPECT imaging studies, and rhenium-188, rhenium-186, copper-64 and yitrium-90 are useful for radiotherapy of breast tumors.  
      A useful text on PET is clinical positive emission tomography, Gustav K. Schulthess, Lipcott, Williams &amp; Williams 2000.  
      In an aspect, the method of Immunofluorescence staining, Elisa (Enzyme-Linked immunosorbent assay), Immunoautoradiography and western blot etc. will be used for detection and quantitation of a protein comprising a polypeptide having a sequence shown in Seq.

      In an aspect, the antibody HICSP is effectively incorporated in a pharmaceutic composition suitable for administration to a living mammal. One or more antibodies may be so incorporated. Useful antibodies include naked and conjugated monoclonal and polyclonal conjugated antibodies.  
      In an aspect, antibody compositions comprising naked monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies and conjugated monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies comprising chemotherapeutic compounds, toxic agents and radioligands are employed in the form of pharmaceutical preparations.  
      In an aspect, such pharmaceutical preparations are made in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art. In an aspect, one preparation utilizes a vehicle of physiological saline solution comprising at least one of a chemotherapeutic compound, toxic agent and radioligand is combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. It may also be desirable that a suitable buffer be present in the composition which may include sterile water.  
      In an aspect, the carrier can also contain other pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients and additives for modifying or maintaining pH, osmolarity, viscosity, clarity, color, sterility, stability, rate of dissolution, or odor of the formulation. Similarly, the carrier may contain still other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients for modifying or maintaining release or absorption or penetration.  
      It is also contemplated that some formulations are more conveniently administered orally. Such formulations are preferably encapsulated and formulated with suitable carriers in solid dosage forms.  
      In an aspect a conjugated antibody comprising a radiolabel portion along with a cancer cytotoxic agent is employed in a pharmaceutical composition administered to a living mammal. In an aspect the immunotherapy comprises administration of two or more antibodies as part of an immuntherapy regime. Radiolabeled antibodies are employed to diagnose the presence of a tumor, the location of a tumor and to deliver a lethal amount of radiation to that tumor. Immuntoxins are also employed in conjugated antibodies.  
      The effective amount of such antibody administered must be determined empirically.  
      Parenteral routes of administration to mammals of such pharmaceutical compositions include but are not limited to electrical (iontophoresis) or direct injection such as direct injection into a central venous line, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intradermal, or subcutaneous injection. Compositions suitable for parenteral administration include, but are not limited, to pharmaceutically acceptable sterile isotonic solutions.  
      Diagnosis and treatment are important aspect of this invention. In an aspect, Positron Emission Tomography, (PET) and SPECT and microPET are useful radioimaging diagnostic imaging standard medical procedures that during data acquisition produce (i.e. capture and optionally record) images of the body&#39;s biological functions and in an aspect, are used to determine the extent of malignant disease as part of the hyperthermia immunotherapy regime. In an aspect, these imagining procedures show the presence and distribution of a radiolabeled detectable functionally emitting radiolabeled chemical i.e. a radionuclide that is also referred to as PET or SPECT or microPET radioligand. Advantageously, these imaging procedures depict metabolic characteristics of tissues.  
      MicroPet® is also useful in this diagnostic imaging using this discovery. MicroPET® is a dedicated PET scanner designed for high resolution radio imaging of small laboratory animals. One such scanner is available from Concorde Microsystems, Inc. 10427 Cogdill Rd, Suite 500 Knoxville, Tenn. 37932 USA). Other manufacturers also offers other useful radioimaging small animal scanner for example Mosaic® from Philips (Andover, Mass. 01810, USA which may be used in the practicing of this discovery.  
      The premise underlying the use of radioimmunotherapy in diagnosing and treating cancer is that preferential accumulation in tumor or localized tumorous region of the living mammal of a radionuclide-conjugated antibody will permit efficacious location of the tumor and selective delivery of cytotoxic radioactivity thereto and thus cause tumor regression. Hopefully this noninvasive therapy will be of immense use.  
      In an aspect, positron emission tomography (PET imaging) comprises detection of x-rays emitted from radionuclides that decay by positron emission and are located within the mammalian patient&#39;s body. In an aspect, PET is carried out over a time period referred to as a time course.  
      In an aspect, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT imaging) comprises a collimation of gamma rays emitted by a radiopharmaceutical distribution such as detectable radioactivity emitting radiological activity within the mammalian body undergoing treatment and analysis. Generally collimators for SPECT imaging are lead and comprise thousands of various shaped parallel channels through which—and only through which—gamma rays are allowed to pass. Generally such collimators are positioned over a single crystal of NaI contained in the Gamma camera in an arrangement called an Anger camera. The image from the camera is the captured image that is presented to a human operator as part of the image in an acquisition process.  
      In an aspect, at least one of a PET, microPet and a SPECT image is taken of (i.e. an acquisition is made) a mammal after administration of a radiolabeled antibody to the mammal.  
      In an aspect, an emitting radioactive substance is produced in a process and is attached, or tagged, to an antibody as a conjugated antibody such as one that recognizes and binds to the HICSP protein and is termed labeling or radiolabeling. Once this radioactive substance is administered to a mammalian patient, emitted radioactivity localizes in the appropriate areas of the body and is detected by PET scanner.  
      In an aspect, images are taken over elapsed time in a dynamic fashion to assemble a developing or developed scenario of situations in a mammalian patient. This may also be referred to as a profile.  
      Typically an adequate and effective amount of time is allowed to elapse for the treated mammal to come to an equilibrium state following satisfactory administration of the pharmaceutical composition comprising a radioligand. Typically the mammal is placed in a position near the PET instrument or SPECT instrument allowing satisfactory operation of the PET instrument and/or SPECT instrument. The PET and SPECT instruments are capably equipped with all necessary operable computer hardware, software and operation requirements including all communication and instructive elements for full functionality. They are turned on by supplying 100 volts electric power to the instruments.  
      Generally after having received its administration of the radiolabeled antibody the mammal is ready for an imaging examination and is taken to an examination room that houses the PET scanner, which has an opening in the middle. In the PET scanner there are multiple rings of detectors that record the emission of energy from the radioactive substance now within in the mammal. In an aspect, the mammal is moved into the hole of the machine. In an aspect, images are obtained of the mammal as part of this radiological examination and are displayed on the monitor of a computer, suitably equipped and operably coupled to the PET scanner instrument. In an aspect, a pharmacologic assessment is made of the imaged locus of tissue.  
      The specific mammalian dose is calculated according to the approximate body weight or body surface area of the patient or the volume of body space to be occupied. The dose will also be calculated dependent upon the particular route of administration selected. Further refinement of the calculations necessary to determine the appropriate dosage for treatment is routinely made by those of ordinary skill in the art. The amount of the composition actually administered will be determined by a practitioner, in the light of the relevant circumstances including the condition or conditions to be treated, the choice of composition to be administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient&#39;s symptoms, and the chosen route of administration.  
      In an aspect, a conjugated monoclonal antibody comprises immunotoxins which are made by attaching toxins (poisonous substances from plants or bacteria) to monoclonal antibodies.  
      Humanizing Monoclonal Antibody Therapy (Engineered human antibody) may be employed as part of the immunotherapy regime in connection with hyperthermia. In an aspect a human engineering antibody is prepared following standard laboratory procedure and is administered to a living mammal as a pharmaceutical composition.  
      Briefly the antibody to HICSP is prepared as described except that the part of the mouse antibody gene responsible for recognizing a specific tumor antigen (HICSP) is exchanged with other parts from a human antibody gene. The product of this mouse-human antibody gene, called a “humanized” monoclonal antibody, looks sufficiently like a normal human antibody to avoid being destroyed by the human patient&#39;s own immune system.  
      If desired a nonantibody based therapeutic agent may be employed as an immunotherapy in conjunction with hyperthermia with or in place of an antibody. Illustratively useful nonantibody based therapeutic agents include toxins linked to hormone-like substances referred to as growth factors.  
      In an aspect, immunotherapy herein comprises systemic immunotherapy which means that the immunotherapy is administered to treat the whole mammalian body. In an aspect, the immunotherapy is targeted which means that the immunotherapy is aimed at cancer cells and if possible leaves normal cells untouched. In an aspect, the antibody is targeted to tumor cells. This increases the delivery of tumoricidal doses of cytotoxic agent to tumor cells while causing a significant reduction of toxicity to normal tissues.  
      In an aspect, it is believed that siRNA designed according to the sequence of the gene comprising a polynucleotide having Seq. Id. No. 1 for example the siRNA having Seq. Id. No. 3 is useful to silence the gene expression in cells containing a gene comprising a polynucleotide having Seq. Id. No. 1.  
      In an aspect, treatment is carried out using siRNA at normal mammal body temperature or as an option may be employed in conjunction with hyperthermia. In an aspect, a gene or genes may be selectively employed to silence silenceable genes using small pieces of RNA called siRNA (short interfering RNA).  
      In an aspect, a suitable sequence for siRNA suitable for silencing a gene is obtained by providing Dharmacon, Inc. 1376 Miners Drive #101 Lafayette, Colo. 80026 with a suitable sequence of a gene to be silenced. Dharmacon employs a custom proprietary process to identify candidate siRHA based on the initial gene sequence from a submitter. In an aspect, siRNA having Seq. Id. No. 3 is identified by providing Dharmacon with Seq. Id. No. 1.  
      In a further aspect, transfectamine is obtained from InVitrogen Corporation, 1600 Faraday Avenue, P.O. Box 6482, Carlsbad, Calif. 92008 and/or Calgene Inc., 1920 Fifth Street, Davis, Calif. 95616 and a mixture is prepared in a tissue culture. This tissue culture is taken in tumor cells which “eat” the admixture comprising siRNA. Without being bound by theory it is believed that siRHA is an effective toxic agent against a gene comprising a polynuclotide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 1.  
      A useful web site, http://www.whitehead.mit.edu/nap/features/nap_feature_sirna.html provides technical information from Whitehead Biocomputing group which provides useful tools for identifying siRNA using a sequence of a polynucleotide such as Seq. Id. No. 1. This information is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.  
      Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (“ODNs”) or “oligos” are synthetic polymers: having e.g. monomers that are deoxynucleotides like those in DNA (“deoxyribonucleic acid”).  
      In an aspect, antisense oligos are synthesized for use as therapeutic agents blocking cancer disease processes by blocking the synthesis of a particular protein. In an aspect, the blocked protein comprises a polypeptide having Seq. Id. No. 2. Such blocking would be achieved by the binding of the ODN to the mRNA from which that protein (polypeptide having Seq. Id. No. 2) is normally synthesized.  
      In aspect ODN&#39;s are in a suitable vector for competent transfection into the tumor cells having a gene comprising a polynucleotide having Seq. Id. No. 1.  
      The construction of a suitable vector can be achieved by any of the methods well-known in the art for the insertion of exogenous DNA into a vector. see Sambrook et al., 1989, Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press, N.Y.; Rosenberg et al., Science 242:1575-1578 (1988); Wolff et al., PNAS 86:9011-9014 (1989). For Systemic administration with cationic liposomes, and administration in situ with viral vectors, see Caplen et al., Nature Med., 1:39-46 (1995); Zhu et al., Science, 261:209-211 (1993); Berkner et al., Biotechniques, 6:616-629 (1988); Trapnell et al., Advanced Drug Delivery Rev., 12:185-199 (1993); Hodgson et al., BioTechnology 13:222 (1995).  
      In an aspect, a non-invasive method of using products of a gene comprising a polynucleotide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 1 as an indicator of the effectiveness of administered therapy to a mammal in the treatment of cancer comprises: applying heat to a tissue locus containing a suspected tumor in an amount and for amount of time effective to activate the gene and forming a treated tissue locus; administering a therapy to the mammal; obtaining a sample of the locus and analyzing the sample for the extent of presence of a protein comprising a polypeptide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 2 and determining that the extent provides an indication of the therapy effectiveness of the administered therapy. In an aspect, the extent is used to determine the prophylactic effect of an administered therapy. In an aspect the administered therapy is a drug.  
      In an aspect the drug is a candidate drug for testing. In an aspect a candidate drug is determined to be toxic to benign and malignant tumors and precancerous lesions when there has been a detectable decrease in the number of benign and malignant tumor and precancerous lesion cells following treatment with the candidate drug as compared to the number of benign and malignant tumor and precancerous lesion cells prior to treatment.  
      While the term “sample” envisions performing the analysis of this discovery on an entire mammal, it is contemplated that α-diagnosis may be performed on a representative sample thereof. For example a tissue biopsy sample can be utilized in the practice of this invention. However, the conditions of such utilization would be such that the sample would have remained and remain viably life sustaining for the living mammal.  
      In an aspect, a method of reducing at least one of the size and number of tumor cells in a living mammal comprises administering to the mammal an effective amount of an antibody which binds to a protein comprising a polypeptide having sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 2. In an aspect, the antibody is coupled to a tumor cytotoxic agent.  
      In an aspect, a method of evaluating the tumor bearing potential of a mammal comprises hyperthermically increasing the expression of a protein comprising a polypeptide having a sequence shown in Seq. Id. No. 2 in the mammal and analyzing for increased expression of the protein indicative of a higher tumor bearing potential.  
      In an aspect, proteins induced and/or accumulated on cell surface by heating and used as target in hyperthermia-based tumor-targeting therapy.  
      The following examples are illustrative but are not meant to be limiting of the invention in any way.  
     EXAMPLE 1  
      Isolation of a novel gene and its encoded heat-inducible cell surface protein (HICSP).  
     Example 1A  
      Background of discovery of the novel gene and its encoded protein HICSP (heat-inducible cell surface protein)  
      NSY42129 (NSY) cell line was established from a human colon cancer and initially characterized (Mai Xu, Establishment and initial characterization of NSY42129 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line. 1992, Journal of China Medical University, Vol.21 (1): 125-136).  
      The inventor cultured NSY cells in an incubator at a temperature of 41° C. and surprisingly found that NSY cells could continuously grow at the elevated temperature. Eventually NSY cells have been maintained at 41° C., passed for many passages and became a permanent variant (sub-cell line) of NSY cell line. To distinguish the variant from its parental NSY or wild type cells the variant cells continuously maintained at 41° C. was designated as NSY-CHR (NSY-chronic heat resistant).  
      Comparing the morphology between NSY cells cultured at 37° C. and NSY-CHR cells maintained at 41° C., NSY cells grow as a single cell mono-layer typical of most adherence dependent cell lines as shown in right panel of  FIG. 1 , while NSY-CHR, left panel of  FIG. 1 , grow as multi-cellular colonies which display an outer envelop like structure indicated by black arrows.  
      Based on the morphological features of NSY-CHR cells we hypothesized that the outer envelope structure of NSY-CHR cells may play an important role in heat resistance.  
      To study the mechanisms of thermal (heat) resistance, the inventor explored the unusual structures (envelope like structure) of NSY-CHR cells at molecular level.  
      As a cell surface molecule, E-cadherin, a trans-membrane protein and main component of cell membrane in epithelial cells has been extensively studied. Therefore, the inventor decided to measured E-cadherin expression in NSY and NSY-CHR cells by RT-PCR assay.  
     Example 1B  
      Inventor&#39;s Discovery of a novel gene DNA fragment  
      RT-PCR assay:  
      Material and experimental procedures:  
      To measure E-cadherin expression in NSY-CHR cells at transcriptional level, total RNA was isolated following standard procedures using TRI reagent and BCP (1-bromo-3-chloropropane) purchased from Molecular Research Center INC (Cincinnati Ohio). RT-PCR assay was performed using Access RT-PCR Introductory System (Kit), Cat. No A1260, from Promega Corporation (Madison, Wis.) with primers synthesized by Nucleic Acid Chemistry Laboratory according to the sequence of 5° CCTTCCTCCCAATACATCTCCC3′ and 5′TCTCCGCCTCCTTCTT CATC3′. This pair primer was designed for E-cadherin. The PCR products were resolved on 0.7% agar gel.  
      Results:  
       FIG. 2 . 0.7% agar gel of RT-PCR products of NSY and NSY-CHR cells. In  FIG. 2 , first line from the left is NSY-CHR mRNA RT-PCR product, the second (middle) line is NSY mRNA RT-PCR product and the last line, M, on the right is a marker of nucleotide size.  
      As shown in  FIG. 2 , two bands, Band 1 with 500 Kb and Band 2 with less than 500 Kb, were observed in both NSY-CHR and NSY cells, but Band 1 significantly increased in NSY-CHR cells.  
      One of these bands is E-cadherin and the other band is a novel one. Based on these results we are not sure which one is E-cadherin and which one is a novel one.  
      Initially the inventor tried to measure E-cadherin expression in heat resistant NSY-CHR cells. However instead the inventor isolated, characterized and identification of the novel gene and its novel product (protein). To further confirm the existence of novel gene t northern blot was performed using the PCR products as a probe.  
      Northern blot:  
      Material and experimental procedures:  
      RNA isolation: as described before total RNA was isolated following standard procedures by using TRI reagent and BCP (1-bromo-3-chloropropane) purchased from Molecular Research Center INC (Cincinnati Ohio). About the northern blot, briefly the procedures are as follows: a) Prepare 1% agar gel with 10 ml 10× Mops buffer and 3 ml formaldehyde. b) Sample preparation, 10 μg RNA from NSY and NSY-CHR cells plus 11 μl H 2 O and 39 μl Loading mix. Then the samples were autoclaved for 15 minutes at 55° C. c) Resolve RNAs on 1% agar gel with 90 V for 2-3 hr. d) Transfer the RNA onto Genescreen plug membrane (Nylon, DuPont) for overnight. d) Hybridize overnight with  32 P labeled cDNA (PCR product) probe at 42° C. e) Finally scan with Storm-image 840 (Molecular Dynamics INC, USA).  
      Results:  
       FIG. 3 . Northern blot of NSY and NSY-CHR cells:  
      Left line is NSY cell and the right line is NSY-CHR cell. It clearly showed two intensive bands in NSY-CHR cells just below the 28s RNA band on the blot. Both bands are significantly increased in NSY-CHR cells as compared to the bands from NSY cells. So these results indicate that E-cadherin was increased at the transcription level and mRNA of the novel gene fragment not only exists, but also increased in NSY-CHR cells.  
      Sequencing the DNA fragment of the novel gene  
      To analyze the new fragment of gene, the cDNA (RT-PCR products) of novel gene fragment was cloned into pPCR-Scrip AMP SK(+) cloning vector and transfected into XL10-Gold Kan Ultracompetent cells. After purifying the RT-PCR products with StrataPrep PCR purification kit, polishing the purified PCR products and inserting the cDNA into pPCR-Scrip AMP SK(+) cloning vector, finally the vector was transfected into competent cells.  
      In detail cloning procedures are as follows. 1) Prepare ligation reaction solution, a) 1λ of pPCR-Scrip SK(+) cloning vector (10 ng/μl); b) 1λ of PCR-Scrip 10× buffer; c) 0.5λ of 10 mMrATP; d) 4λ blunt-ended PCR product; e) 1λ SrfI restriction enzyme (5 μ/μl); f) 1λ T4 DNA ligase (4 μ/μl); 1.5λ distilled water. 2) Mix the ligation reaction solution gently and incubate this reaction for 1 hr at room temperature. 3) Heat the ligation reaction solution for 10 minutes at 65° C. 4) Store the ligation reaction on ice until ready to use for transformation into the  Epicurian Coli  XL10-gold Kan Ultra-competent cells.  
      Transfection of the cloned vector into  E. Coli  XL 10-gold Ultra-competent cells (QiaGen):  
      a) Thaw the XL 10-gold Ultra-competent cells on ice; b) Gently mix the cells by hand and aliquot 40λ of the cells into a chilled 12 ml falcon 2059 polypropylene tube; c) add 1.6 λ of XL10-gold β-mercaptoethanol mix to the 40λ Ultra-competent cells; d) Swirl the contents of the tube gently and incubate on ice for 10 minutes, swirling gently every 2 minutes; e) incubate the tube on ice for 30 minutes; f) Heat pulse the tube in 42° C. water bath for 30 seconds; g) incubate the tube on ice for 2 minutes. h) Add 0.45 ml preheated NZY-broth to the tube and incubate for 1 hr at 37° C. with shaking. i) Grow the transfected cells in plate and incubate for overnight at 37° C. for blue-white color screening. Colonies containing plasmids with insert will remain white. j) Expanding the cell culture for DNA preparation and sequencing.  
      ABI PRISM BigDye Terminator Cycle Sequencing:  
      Preparation of DNA for sequencing, For DNA sequencing the first step is to isolate or purify DNA from the plasmid, which contains the new gene fragment by using plasmid Mini purification Kit (Cat. No. 12123 QIAGEN Miami, Fla., USA).  
      The procedures are as follows. 1) Resuspend the bacteria pellet in 0.3 ml of buffer P1 (from the mini purification kit). 2) Add 0.3 ml of buffer P2, mix gently and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes. 3) Add 0.3 ml of chilled buffer P3, mix immediately but gently, and incubate on ice for 5 minutes. 4) Equilibrate a QIAGEN-tip 20 by applying 1 ml Buffer QBT (from the kit) and allow the column to empty by gravity flow. 5) Apply the supernatant from 4) to the QIAGEN-tip 20 and allow it to enter the resin by gravity flow. 6) Wash the QIAGEN-tip 20 with 4×1 ml buffer QC. 7) Elute DNA with 0.8 ml buffer QF. 8) Precipitate DNA with 0.7 volumes of room temperature isopropanol. Centrifuge immediately at 10,000 rpm for 30 minutes in a micro-centrifuge and carefully decant the supernatant. 9) Wash DNA with 1 ml of 70% ethanol, air dry for 5 minutes, and re-dissolve in a suitable volume buffer.

      Results  
      The DNA sequencing results showed that the sequence from 2E-7 clone is E-cadherin. The other sequence from 2E-5 clone is a DNA fragment of the novel gene. A total of 408 bases of the inventor discovered novel gene DNA fragment and its encoded peptide with 136 amino acid, were blasted in NCBI databases (National Center for Biotechnology Information National Library of Medicine Building 38A Bethesda, Md. 20894 including all GenBank, EMBL, DDBJ, PDB, and Swiss.  
      The gene and protein banks search showed that both sequence of the identified DNA fragment and the DNA fragment encoded peptide are more than 95% matching BAT2 (HLA-B associated transcription factor 2), but not 100% .  
      To distinguish using nomenclature the inventors novel gene encoded protein from BAT2 the novel gene encoded protein was designated as heat-inducible cell surface protein (herein referred to throughout as “HICSP”).  
     EXAMPLE 2  
      Expression of the novel gene encoded protein HICSP (heat-inducible cell surface protein) was increased on the surface of NSY-CHR (NSY-chronic heat resistant) cells  
      Material and Methods  
      Antibody:  
      Generation of rabbit Polyclonal antibodies: To further characterize his novel gene product the inventor generated rabbit polyclonal antibodies against a short peptide synthesized according to the sequence of 136 amino acids from the novel gene encoded protein. The Rabbit polyclonal antibody against the short peptide was designated as 805 k.  
      In details, 805 k rabbit polyclonal antibody was generated with immunization of a short peptide of HICSP. The procedures to generate rabbit polyclonal antiserum are as follows: 1) synthesized peptides according to the sequence of HICSP protein. 2) Immunized the rabbit with the synthesized peptide. 3) Test the serum with Elisa method to determine if antibodies specific to the peptide were induced in immunized rabbit. 4) If the titer of antibody reacting to the antigen (the peptide) is high enough (1:4,000×) then the antiserum was taken from the immunized rabbit.  
      For measuring cell surface protein two methods were applied. One method was immunofluorescence staining on living cell system. The other method was biotin-streptavadin precipitation technique.  
      Immunofluorescence staining in living cells of tissue culture (serological assay): This staining takes advantages of serological assay that only permits the detection of cell surface proteins and not cytoplasm proteins in the living cell system due to the fact that antibodies cannot penetrate the membrane of living cells into the cell cytoplasm. The assay procedures described as follows, cells growing in 24 well plat were washed three times with PBS and briefly dried with paper towel. The cells were incubated with different concentration of rabbit polyclonal antibody against HICSP for 40 minutes at 37° C. incubator. Then the cells were washed three times, briefly dried again, incubated with FITC conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody at a dilution of 1:500 (Jackson Immuno Research Laboratories, P.O. Box 9872 West Baltimore Pike West Grove, Pa., USA 19390) and kept at 37° C. for 40 minutes. After washing three times the cells are ready to be observed under fluorescence microscope.  
      Biotinylation assay, briefly cell surface proteins were labeled by biotin and precipitated by streptavidin conjugated to agarose. Components of the precipitates are cell surface proteins. Detail procedures are described as follows;  
      Cell lines: human colon adenocarcinoma NSY or its variant NSY-CHR cells were cultured in T25 cm 2  with RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 50 units/ml sodium penicillin G and 50 μg/ml streptomycin sulfate.

      Results:  
       FIG. 4 . Immunofluorescence staining of NSY and NSY-CHR cells using 805 k rabbit polyclonal antibody with dilution of 1000×. It showed that expression of HICSP increased in NSY-CHR cells as compared with its wild type NSY cells.  
       FIG. 5 . Western blot of cell surface proteins precipitated by biotin-streptavidin from NSY and NSY-CHR cells: The biotin-streptavidin precipitated samples that only contain cell surface proteins were electrophoresesed through 7% SDS PAGE gel and transferred onto PVDF membrane.  
      SDS PAGE means SDS POLYACRYLAMIDE GEL ELECTROPHORESIS, see  htto://www.mcb.uct.ac.za/sdspage.html   
      (PVDF means KYNAR® Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) and KYNAR Flex® PVDF are highly chemically resistant fluoropolymers and are registered trademarks of the duPONT Company, Wilmington, Del., USA.  
      The membrane was probed with 805 k rabbit polyclonal antibody. It showed that 805 k polyclonal antibody binds to 2 protein bands with molecular weight of 130 KD and 270 KD. Both proteins with molecular weight of 270 KD and 130 KD are increased in NSY-CHR cells. The protein with 270 KD is more prominent. Therefore 130 KD protein may be premature type or degrader of 270 KD protein.  
     EXAMPLE 3  
      The novel gene encoded protein HICPS is not BAT 2 protein but that gene sequence is similar, but not the same to that of the isolated novel gene.  
      To clearly distinguish the novel gene product carrying a polynucleotide having Seq. Id. No. 1 from BAT2 protein, whole cell proteins (lysates) were analyzed by western blot with 805 k rabbit polyclonal antibody against peptide synthesized according to the amino acid sequence of HICSP.  
      Method of western blot (for detail procedures please see Example 4):  
      Briefly the whole cell lysates including components of nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane from NSY, NSY-CHS and NSY-CHR cells were successfully resolved on 7% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred onto PVDF membrane. The blot was incubated with 805 k rabbit polyclonal antibody. NSY-CHS (NSY Chronic heat sensitive) is a variant of NSY cells.  
       FIG. 6 . Expression of HICSP in NSY, NSY-CHS and NSY-CHR cells: There are several protein bands altered (increase or decrease) in comparing NSY and NSY-CHR cells. The protein with molecular weight 270 kD were detected and increased in NSY-CHR cells, but the 130 kD protein was not observed probably due to the limited amount of this protein in whole cell lysate. Protein bands, especially 170 kD protein detected by rabbit polyclonal antibody 805 k in whole cell lysates are cytoplasm forms of HICSP or cross-reaction. (Note k=1,000)  
      In summary, the whole gene has not been completely cloned but the protein analysis is compelling evidence that HICSP is novel and unique. This additional evidence supports the novelty and patentability of the discovery herein presented: 1) the molecular weight of HICSP (270 kD and/or 130 kD) is different from that of BAT 2 protein which contains about 2157 amino acids with a molecular weight of 227 kD (NiceProt view of Swiss-Prot: P48634 and Banerli at el, proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2378, 1990). HICSP is 270 kD and/or 130 kD. 2) HICSP is expressed on the cell surface, while large prolin-rich protein BAT2 showed that neither a hydrophobic leader nor an obvious transmenbrane region are appear (Banerji at el, proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2378, 1990). 3) BAT2 protein is limited to leukemia cell lines tested so far, but HICSP expressed on the surface of tumor cells derived from epithelial cells. 4) BAT2 gene contains about 6914 bases and 2157 amino acid. Only part of the pat of the novel gene, 408 bases, and HICSP protein, 136 amino acids, is similar to BAT2 gene and its encoded protein, but not exactly matching. 5) HICSP is stress including heat-inducible and/or accumulative on cells surface. Therefore the isolated, purified and characterized HICSP gene and its encoded protein are novel and unique.  
     EXAMPLE 4  
      The isolated novel gene and its product HICSP are ideal target for stress, including hyperthermia, based tumor-targeting therapy.

     EXAMPLE 4B  
      Expression of HICSP in tumor and normal cells after heating at 41° C. (Analyzed by western blotting). Due to 130 kD HICSP was hardly detectable in whole cell lysates, therefore the following HICSP analysis in tumor and normal cell lines is 270 kD HICSP. Material and methods: Tumor cell lines: NSY cell line was derived from a human colon adenocarcinoma (Mai Xu et al. 1996, Int. J. Hyperthermia 12(5): 645-660). Human colon adenocarcinoma HT29 and HCT15, human breast carcinoma MCF7, human prostate carcinoma PC3, and human glioblastoma. All cell lines, except NSY and HCT15 cells that were maintained in RPMI1640 medium, were cultured in DMEM medium and obtained from ATCC (American Type Culture Collection, P.O. Box 1549, Manassas, Va. 20108,USA or Rockville, Md., USA), unless otherwise noted. The tissue culture mediums were supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 50-units/ml sodium penicillin C and 50 mg/ml streptomycin sulfate. Cells were cultured at 5% CO 2  humidified and water jacketed incubator (Forma Scientific INC, P.O. Box 649, Marietta, Ohio 45750.  
      None tumor (normal) cell lines:  
      CRL7483, BNL-C2 and MRC-5 are known human normal fibroblast cell lines. All cell lines were obtained from ATCC (American Type Culture Collection, P.O. Box 1549, Manassas, Va. 20108, USA or Rockville, Md.). CRL7483 was cultured in DMEM, BNL-C2 and MRC5 in MEM medium. All the cultured mediums were supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 50-units/ml sodium penicillin G and 50-mg/ml streptomycin sulfate.  
      Heat treatment and western blotting cells cultured in T25 flasks at 5% humidified 37° C. incubator. For heat treatment the cultures were shifted to 41° C. incubator from 37° C. for indicated time. The cells in T25 flask was washed three times with cold PBS and collected by scraping with scraper. The cell pallet was sonicated with 2 Watts of output for 30 to 40 seconds with 60 Sonic Dismembrator (Fisher Scientific). Protein content of the cell lysate was quantified using BIORAD protein assay. Mixing equal volume of cell lysate with 2× 1 D sample buffer and autoclaving at 95° C. on heating plate for 5 minutes. Equal amount of protein was loaded and resolved on 7% SDS PAGE gel. The proteins on SDS PAGE gel were transferred onto PVDF membrane. The membrane was incubated with blocking buffer containing 5% dry milk and then with primary antibody 805 k rabbit polyclonal anti serum against HICSP with the dilution of 1:500 at room temperature for 1 hr. After washing three times with TBST buffer, the membrane was incubated with secondary antibody alkaline phosphatase conjugated donkey anti rabbit antibody with 1:1000 dilutions for 40 minutes at room temperature. After washing the membrane for four times with PBST the membranes were developed with a substrate, BCIP/NBT solution (Sigma-Aldrich Corp. St. Louis, Mo., USA.), for 3 minutes to 6 minutes. Finally the membrane was washed with tap water to stop the reaction of the substrate with alkaline phosphatase.

      Results:  
       FIG. 10  depicts HICSP localized on the surface of human colon adenocarcinoma NSY tumor cells. It clearly demonstrated that HICSP was localized on cell surface and increased its expression after heating at 41° C. for an indicated time. Please also see table 1.  
       FIG. 11  depicts HICSP localized on the surface of human colon adenocarcinoma HT29 tumor cells. It also demonstrated that HICSP was observed on cell surface and increased its expression after heating at 41° C. for an indicated time. Please also see table 1.  
       FIG. 12  depicts HICSP expression on the surface of human breast cancer MCF7 cells after heating at 41° C. for 40 minutes. The cells were stained with 805 k rabbit anti serum against HICSP with 100 dilutions. Panel A and B are bright light to show where the cells are. Panels a and b are depicts the results of using UV light to demonstrate HICSP. In this figure, panel A is the same field as panel a and panel B is the same field as panel b. The dark field of panel a indicate that no HICSP was detected. In panel b bright green staining with a ring shape indicates that HICSP increased and/or accumulated on the cell surface after heating at 41° C. for 40 minutes. The images in panels a and b were taken by using the same settings, such as brightness and exposure time.  
       FIG. 13  depicts that HICSP expression on human normal fibroblast and malignant tumor cells maintained at 37° C. or heated at 41° C. for 1 hr. CRL7483, normal fibroblast and CRL7484 breast cancer cells originated from the same patient as a pair of normal and malignant cell lines purchased from ATCC. In this figure the upper panel is a brightfield exposure and the lower panel is UV light excitation. The images from UV light exposure were taken under the same exposure conditions. The images show that more HICSP (bright with WV light exposure) was detected on the tumor cell surface than on normal fibroblasts. After heat treatment at 41° C. for 1 hr the amount of HICSP increased and/or accumulated at the tumor cell surface, but not on normal fibroblasts (the field in the CRL7483-41° C. panel is dark under UV excitation).

      Expression of HICSP was successfully induced and/or accumulated by a lower heating temperature of 40° C. in HT29 living human colon adenocarcinoma cells.  
      Material and method  
      Western blot, please see EXAMPLE 4A (Above)  
       FIG. 14  depicts that HICSP were over expressed and/or accumulated after heating at 40° C. for an indicated time in HT29 cells. The amount of HICSP significantly induced and/or accumulated in HT29 cells after heating for 1 hr at 40° C.  
       FIG. 15A  depicts that HICSP was increased and/or accumulated up to 3 to 4 hours of after heating.  
       FIG. 15 B  depicts quantitative analysis of HICSP post heating at 41° C. for 1 hr. It showed that HICSP continuously increased and/or accumulated after heating and reached about 3.5 fold after 30 minutes heating. After 1 and 2 hr heating the amount of HICSP was still about 2-fold higher than that from control.  
     EXAMPLE 6  
      Method of hyperthermia-based tumor successfully immunotargeting therapy to treat patients with benign and malignant neoplasms and pre-cancerous lesions  
      Local, regional and whole body hyperthermia-based tumor immunotargeting therapy with temperature of 41° C. for 1 hr heating will be successful because HICSP was induced and/or accumulated in tumor cells tested and with the heating time as little as 0.5 or 1 hr. If patients cannot tolerant a higher temperature, then 40° C. hyperthermia is also effective to induce and/or accumulate the expression of HICSP.  
      In an aspect administration of the conjugated antibody is done at a time in the range from about 30 minutes to about two hours past the time when a patient being treated has had his/her core body temperature elevated to about 41 degrees C. for about one hour. In practicing the invention those of skill in the art will carry out the administration commensurate with the teachings of this specification and of the patient situation and the diagnosis and treatment being carried out and will fake into account any patient concerns. Normally the timing of the administration is such that the passage of ample time is desired sufficient to have conditions present such that expression of the protein would have been conducive. Generally the amount of conjugated antibody is administered is an effective amount such as at 30 to 60 mCi/m2. This dose is based on the radiation dose not protein. About 1 mg to about 5 mg of antibody should be fine for each treatment. This is usually repeated as the same treatment for about 5 to about 8 times until HAM (human against mouse antibody) happens.  
      Advantages of this novel hyperthermia-based immunotargeting therapy by using the isolated heat-inducible cell surface protein (HICSP) as target for cancer treatment are: 1) increase specificity of biological markers to tumor cells, e.g. the antigen expressed or increased is limited to cells in heated area or heated cells (The local heating device is presently available in the clinic); 2) enhance antigen expression homogeneously in heated cells because 41° C. can be delivered homogeneously in cells localized in heating area; 3) Improve the efficiency of delivering “magic bullet” to tumor cells, especially to hypoxic tumor cells due to the improvement of blood circulation in hypoxic areas of a solid tumor mass after heat treatment; 4) sensitize tumor cells to radiation and other anticancer agents by reducing the fraction of hypoxic cells.

     Making A Functional Living Transgenic Cell Or Mouse Useful To Practice This Discovery  
      In an embodiment, a transgenic organism is provided. As used herein, the term “transgenic organism” includes those transgenic organisms which contain stably integrated recombinant DNA in its cells. The transgenic organism has a new piece of DNA spliced into a chromosome in each of its cells. This “new piece” of DNA typically contains a gene that was obtained from another organism, and which has been modified so that it is expressed in the new organism. The DNA is incorporated into a vector which integrates into the host genome. The transgenic construct will contain other compounds that aid expression, stability and integration of the construct into the genome. Transgenic organisms can serve as models which are utilized in the discovery of and identification of potentially useful drugs and moieties. In an aspect a transgenic cell or transgenic mouse is provided wherein a gene comprising a polynucleotide having Seq Id No. 1 is competently integrated into the genome of the cell or of the mouse.  
      There are several for gene delivery into living animals such as in a living mouse. The simplest method is the direct introduction of therapeutic DNA into target cells. This approach is limited in its application because it can be used only with certain tissues and requires large amounts of DNA. The direct approach may involve use of the gene gun. In an aspect the novel gene herein is competently integrated into the transgenic animals.  
      As used herein the term “transgenic animal” is a mouse or a living nonhuman animal that carries a foreign gene that has been deliberately inserted into its genome. The foreign gene is constructed using recombinant DNA methodology.  
      One can transform embryonic stem cells (ES cells) growing in tissue culture with the desired DNA and injecting the desired gene into the pronucleus of a fertilized mouse egg and use a pronucleus method.  
      In addition to a structural gene, DNA usually includes other sequences to enable it to be incorporated into the DNA of the host and to be capably expressed correctly by the cells of the host. Transgenes should include promoter, enhancer, gene to be expressed, splice donor and acceptor and intron sequences, and termination/polyadenylation sequences. Transgenes must be excised from the bacterial plasmid sequences in order to be expressed in mice.  
      Using recombinant DNA methods, the DNA containing the structural gene is vectored into the mouse genome to enable the molecules to be inserted into the host DNA molecules. One should use promoter and enhancer sequences to enable capable gene expression by host cells. Host cells are transformed in culture by exposing cultured cells to the DNA so that some cells will incorporate it. One then selects for successfully transformed cells and injects these cells into the inner cell mass of mouse blastocysts. Embryo transfer is carried out by preparing a pseudopregnant mouse (by mating a female mouse with a vasectomized male). The stimulus of mating elicits hormonal changes needed to make the uterus of the female mouse receptive. Embryos are transferred into the uterus wherein they implant successfully and develop into healthy pups. Offspring are tested by removing a small piece of tissue from the tail and examining its DNA for the desired gene by Southern blotting. Typically, 10-20% of pups will be heterozygous for the gene. Two heterozygous mice are mated. Screening of their offspring should result in 1:4 homozygous for the transgene. Mating these will find the transgenic strain.  
      In an aspect the DNA is prepared as outlined above but additionally one transforms fertilized eggs in that freshly fertilized eggs are harvested before the sperm head has become a pronucleus. One then injects the male pronucleus with this DNA. When the pronuclei have fused to form the diploid zygote nucleus, one allows the zygote to divide by mitosis to form a 2-cell embryo and then implants the embryos in a pseudopregnant foster mother and proceeds as recited above.  
      Particle Gun Technology  
      Particle gun technology may be employed as a delivery system and a means to introduce desired DNA materials into cells. The particle guns shoot DNA-coated materials into living cells providing direct deposit of genetic material into living cells, intact tissues, and microscopic organelles. Du Pont Co., DuPont Building, 1007 Market Street, Wilmington, Del. 19898, USA., and Agracetus Inc., 8520 University Green, Middleton Wis. 53562, USA, have United States patent applications pending. Useful nonlimiting examples of particle guns includes the Biolistic gene gun and the Particle Gun.  
      Those of skill in the art after reading this specification and claims will be able to prepare a living transgenic mouse including the genomic features of this discovery. A transgenic company is genoway, Immeuble Chateaubriand, 181 avenue Jean-Jaures, 69007 LYON, France is reported to make transgenic mice.  
      This invention provides a novel approach for treatment of cancer involving hyperthermia and immunotargeted therapy including cytotoxic directed tumor therapy.  
      The invention means the HICSP target protein can be manipulated to be expressed and/or over expressed on the surface of heated cells by heating. For example purposely heat the tumor area at 41° C. for 1 hour then the HICSP expressed and/or over expressed only limited to the heated area, but not unheated area. Thus the specificity to the target (tumor cells) is much more improved over the presently available target molecules used in present tumor immunotargeting therapy.  
      In summary, this discovery is a novel approach for hyperthermia-based immunotargeting therapy and for the treatment of cancer and precancerous lesions.  
      This discovery has the following advantages as it: 1) increases specificity of biological marker to tumor cells; 2) enhances antigen expression homogeneously on heated tumor cells; 3) sensitizes tumor cells to radiation by reducing hypoxic fraction of tumor cells; and 4) improves the efficiency of delivering “magic bullet” (antibody conjugated with radio isotopes ) to tumor cells, especially hypoxic tumor cells due to the improvement of blood circulation and increase permeability of vascular in hypoxic areas of a solid tumor mass after heat treatment.  
      While the invention has been described in terms of various specific embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of this discovery.
