Heat-shock proteins and the host-pathogen interaction during bacterial infection

Graham R Stewart et al. Curr Opin Immunol. 2004 Aug.

Abstract

Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) are expressed at high levels by bacterial pathogens during adaptation to intracellular survival. Both host and pathogen heat-shock proteins contribute to immunity by receptor-mediated activation of the innate immune response and by participation in the presentation of antigens for the adaptive immune response. Manipulation of these interactions presents a potential route to improved control of infection by vaccination or immunotherapy.
