摘要: Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are shown to be strong immunoadjuvants, eliciting both innate and adaptive immune responses against cancers. HSP110 is related in sequence HSP70 ∼4-fold more efficient binding stabilizing denatured protein substrates compared with HSP70. In the present study we evaluated ability of a heat complex intracellular domain (ICD) human HER-2/ neu elicit effective antitumor inhibit spontaneous mammary tumors FVB- (FVBN202) transgenic mice. The HSP110-ICD was capable breaking tolerance rat inhibiting tumor development. This vaccine induced ICD-specific IFN-γ IL-4 production. Depletion studies revealed that CD8 + T cells were involved protection challenge mouse tumors, whereas CD4 partial protection. Increased IgG2a Ab titer sera tumor-free animals after vaccination elevated CD25 regulatory PBL tumor-bearing suggested IFN-γ-producing Th1 may responsible for challenge, (Th2 cells) suppress responses. Together, these results suggest can up-regulation prevent complete eradication following immunotherapy.
