hardcover. Aims to present the developments to provide a basis for understanding the mode of action of HSP-based immunotherapeutic interventions. Focusing on immunity to HSP and its impact on the regulation of inflammation, it is a combination of work carried out in experimental model systems and in patients, which includes clinical research. Editor(s): Eden, Willem Van. Series: Progress in Inflammation Research. Num Pages: 293 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 20. Weight in Grams: 800.
Heat shock proteins (HSP) have received ample interest by immunologists over recent years. Initially they were found to be dominantly immunogenic microbial antigens. The connection with inflammation was established when it was uncovered that T cells specific for these antigens have a crucial role in the induction and regulation of experimental arthritis. Since then, the raised presence of immunity to HSPs in virtually all conditions of inflammation, including autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection and atherosclerosis, has emphasised the critical significance of immunity to HSPs in inflammatory diseases.
