HSP60 induces self‐tolerance to repeated HSP60 stimulation and cross‐tolerance to other pro‐inflammatory stimuli

Abstract excerpt

In addition to their primary function as intracellular chaperone proteins, the immunomodulatory properties of heat shock proteins (HSP), including their role as adjuvants for vaccines, have become a focus of intense research interest. Interestingly, the effect of chronic exposure to an endogenous immunomodulator and initiator of inflammation such as autologous HSP60 has as yet remained uncharacterized. In this...
