Abstract:
A broad range of studies has established that heat shock proteins (Hsps) potentially play a role in tumor immunosurveillance. Here, Andrew Wells and Miroslav Malkovsky highlight recent data that demonstrate a causal relationship between the expression of Hsps and tumor immunogenicity, and suggest several mechanisms by which Hsps might influence the capacity of a tumor to induce an immune response.
