... Immune responses to Hsp60 are frequently found in a wide range of microbial infections. This Hsp family has been found to elicit humoral as well as cell mediated immune responses. For example, direct involvement of Hsp60-specific T cells has been demonstrated in a murine model of Yersiniosis. In thi ...
