Abstract:
One of the most important aspects of heat shock proteins (HSP) functioning, namely their role in reactions of innate and adaptive immunity, was reviewed in the article. Mechanisms of involvement of HSP in processing and presentation of antigens to T-lymphocytes were described. Principles of construction of prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines on the basis of HSP were set out. Assessment of range of indications for their use and possible risks related with inductive action of vaccines on the development of immunopathologic processes was a specially discussed topic.

Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
