This is not surprising because the immune system generally is not engineered to respond to a large bolus of a single cytokine. Indeed, a very fine balance between the different cytokines is crucial to ensure appropriate cell signa ...

These inducible effects can largely be attributed to HSP70I, because HSC70 is constitutively expressed in all cell types including T cells (38). Because HSP70i appears to be strictly regulated by H ...
