| association of serum antibodies to heat-shock protein 65 with carotid atherosclerosis. | arteriosclerotic lesions can be induced in normocholesterolaemic rabbits by immunisation with heat-shock protein (hsp) 65, a stress protein expressed in high concentrations in human atherosclerotic lesions. if an immune reaction to hsp65 also plays a part in human atherogenesis, it should be possible to detect anti-hsp65 antibodies in patients with atherosclerotic lesions. to study the possible relation between immune reaction to hsp65 and atherosclerosis, 867 normal inhabitants of south tyrol, ... | 1993 | 8093914 |
