Abstract excerpt
A role for heat shock proteins (hsp) in rheumatoid arthritis has been suggested. In addition, the specific binding of human HSP70 protein to QKRAA and RRRAA motifs within the HV3 region of disease-associated DRB1*0401 and DRB1*1001 molecules, respectively, has been proposed as being relevant to rheumatoid arthritis. The purpose of this work was to analyze the influence of HSP70 gene polymorphism on the...
