Proteomics
Researchers from Nagoya University report on findings in proteomics
July 2nd, 2008
According to a study from Nagoya, Japan, "Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family members are known as facilitators of immune responses by interacting with receptors on antigen-presenting cells leading to Hsp70-peptide uptake and antigen cross priming." "Here, identification of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A24-restricted epitopes was achieved using peptide arrays for evaluation of their affinities to Hsp70 and HLA-A24 binding prediction tools. Using Hsp70 as the model antigen, the GYPVTNAVI and VFQHGKVEI peptides were identified as antigens," wrote M. Okochi and colleagues, Nagoya University. The researchers concluded: "These peptides actually bound to...
