The present review focuses on the concept that cellular and humoral immunity to the
phylogenetically highly conserved antigen heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) is the initiating …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are present in most cells, serving as molecular chaperones, and
they play a role in cell protection from damage in response to stress stimuli. However …

Objective—Growing evidence suggests that immune reactions to heat shock protein 60
(HSP60) are involved in atherogenesis. Because of the high phylogenetic conservation …

Immunoinflammatory processes are discussed increasingly as possible pathogenic factors
for the development of atherosclerosis. Here, we summarize the data on which we have built …

Although immune reactions against heat shock proteins have been implicated in the
pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, conflicting associations between Hsp70, anti-Hsp70 …

This review summarizes the complex role of heat-shock proteins (Hsp) in immune reactions,
especially the cellular effects of heat-shock proteins during the recognition processes by …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are produced in response to various stressors, including
ischemia-reperfusion, and they can exit cells and reach the blood. In this pilot study, we …

Since its discovery, Helicobacter pylori has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several
diseases, both digestive and extradigestive. Interestingly, the majority of the extradigestive …

Background. To investigate whether the Helicobacter pylori status influences levels of
antibodies against mycobacterial heat shock protein (hsp) 65 and human hsp60 in systemic …

AIM: To determine the overall prevalence of H pylori and CagA positive H pylori infection
and the prevalence of other bacterial and viral causes of chronic infection in patients with …
