Heat shock protein and innate immunity.
In addition to serving as molecular chaperones, heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been implicated in autoimmune diseases, antigen presentation and tumor immunity. Extensive work in the last 10 years has also suggested that HSPs such as Hsp60, Hsp70, Hsp90 and gp96, may be potent activators of the innate immune system capable of inducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by the monocyte...
متن کاملEvolution of heat shock protein and immunity.
Heat shock proteins (hsps) are among the most abundant intracellular proteins. Their synthesis is rapidly up-regulated by various 'stressors' including temperature, glucose deprivation, infection and cancer. Certain hsps are able to: (i). associate and chaperone a large variety of cellular peptides; (ii). be efficiently internalized by antigen presenting cells (APC) through receptor-mediated en...
متن کاملHeat shock protein expression and immunity in chlamydial infections.
KEY WORDS heat shock proteins, Chlamydia trachomatis, immunity eat shock proteins (hsps) are among the most abundant proteins in nature and are highly conserved amongst both eucaryotes and procary-otes. The heat shock response is an important survival mechanism that safeguards the cell or microbe from conditions of stress. The response is triggered transcriptionally and results in the productio...
متن کاملHeat shock protein 70-associated peptides elicit specific cancer immunity
Vaccination of mice with heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) preparations derived from the Meth A sarcoma, but not from normal tissues, renders the mice immune to a substantial challenge with Meth A sarcoma. The immunogenicity is dose dependent and tumor specific. Treatment of an antigenically active hsp70 preparation with ATP followed by removal of low-molecular weight material leaves hsp70 intact, ...
متن کاملChlamydia Pneumoniae Infection, Inflammation and Heat Shock Protein 60 Immunity in Asthma and Coronary Heart Disease
Chlamydia pneumoniae is a common respiratory pathogen worldwide. It does not only cause acute respiratory infections, but is also associated with chronic inflammatory diseases, such as asthma and coronary heart disease (CHD). Chlamydial heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) is associated with the development of immunopathological damage following C. trachomatis infections, but the role of Hsp60 in C. p...
