摘要: Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play an important role as 'endogenous danger signals' in the immune surveillance system. Extracellular HSPs released from damaged cells can stimulate professional antigen-presenting cells, followed by cytokine release and expression of cell surface molecules. In addition to such activity stimulating innate immunity, extracellular promote cross-presentation HSP-bound peptide antigens MHC class I molecules dendritic leading efficient induction antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. The roles both immunity adaptive explain at least part molecular mechanism which thermal stress bolsters host present review, we novel aspects discuss therapeutic application hyperthermia for immunomodulation.
