Abstract excerpt
Microbial heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been implicated in the induction of both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune response. We now show that human dendritic cells (DC) pulsed with peptide-loaded mycobacterial HSP70 complexes generate potent antigen-specific cytotoxic lymphocyte (CTL) responses, which are dependent on an HSP70-stimulated calcium signaling cascade. From the calculated peptide binding...
