The 60-kDa heat shock protein modulates allograft rejection.
Allograft rejection is a process of immune reactivity triggered by foreign transplantation antigens. We now demonstrate that the 60-kDa heat shock protein (hsp60), a molecule that is identical in the donor and the recipient, can regulate allograft immunity. In wild-type mice, hsp60 expression was greatly enhanced in allografts being rejected. By using MHC class II (Ealpha) promoter hsp60 transg...
متن کاملHeat Shock Protein 60: Identification of an Undetected Allergen from Dermatophagoides farinae
Background: Recently, the incidence of allergic diseases has been on the rise; Dust mite is the major indoor allergen which needs a special consideration.Objectives: This study was carried out to identify and investigate the molecular properties of a new allergen named Hsp60 and to afford a foundation for future research of the allergic diseases caused by...
متن کاملThe production of molecular clones of Toxoplasma gondii-derived heat shock protein 70 kDa
Toxoplasmosis is a common and widespread infection in humans and many other species of warm–blooded animals. Toxoplasma gondii-derived heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) may play an important role in the virulence of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). In the present study, T. gondii Hsp70 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from the DNA of the T. gondiitachyzoite RH strain through the use o...
متن کاملImmunofluorescent protein detection in Western blotting
This report describes the detailed procedures for Western blot analysis using fluorescent antibodies. After electrophoresis and subsequent electroblotting, the fluorescent-labeled antibodies were visible upon ultraviolet illumination of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and could then be photographed to give an accurate record of the blots. Fluorescent labeling allows for photographi...
متن کاملHuman 60-kDa heat-shock protein: a danger signal to the innate immune system.
Mammalian 60-kDa heat-shock protein (hsp60) is a key target of T cell and Ab responses in chronic inflammation or atherosclerosis. We show in this study that human hsp60 is also an Ag recognized by cells of the innate immune system, such as macrophages. Both mouse and human macrophages respond to contact with exogenous human hsp60 with rapid release of TNF-alpha; mouse macrophages in addition p...
