Abstract:
In recent years, studies have suggested that autoimmunity and/or immunopathology may sometimes result from the immune response to heat shock proteins of autologous cells and microorganisms. Focusing on the T-cell mediated responses, we review the latest literature on this issue with regard to three hypothetical concepts of immunopathology in which heat shock proteins might play a role.
