Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no effective treatment. Geldanamycin is a benzoquinone ansamycin that binds to the heat shock protein Hsp90 and activates a heat shock response in mammalian cells. In this study, we show by using a filter retardation assay and immunofluorescence microscopy that treatment of mammalian cells with geldanamycin at nanomolar concentrations...
