Abstract

Heat shock protein (HSP) expression in lymphocytesisolated from 20 patients with HIV diseaseand 15 age-matched controls was determined.Fold increases in lymphocyte hsp70 expressionafter heat shock were 4.52 ± 2.97 in HIV-positiveindividuals compared with 2.60 ± 1.29 for HIV-negativecontrols (P = 0.001). Given clear rolesfor HSP in the cross-presentation of antigens, α-defensininternalization and pro-inflammatorycytokine production, a further investigation ofHSP in HIV patients is merited.
