Abstract excerpt
The heat shock proteins (HSPs) are induced by stressful stimuli and have a protective effect. Different HSPs protect with different efficiencies against different stresses indicating that optimal protection would be obtained with a non-stressful agent which induced a range of HSPs. We have prepared a herpesvirus vector expressing a constitutively active mutant form of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) which, unlike the...
