NO is a cytotoxic and immunomodulatory cytokine produced by macrophages and dendritic cells. We show that stimulation of murine and human macrophages with the heat shock proteins gp96 and hsp70 results in induction of inducible NO synthase and the production of NO. The release of NO by monocytes exposed to hsp60 has been documented previously. Immature, but not mature, dendritic cells respond i...

A M(r) 110,000 glycoprotein, designated gp110, isolated from the concanavalin A-Sepharose-binding protein fraction of the chemically induced BALB/c Meth A sarcoma by Mono Q fast protein liquid chromatography, has been shown to: (a) increase the resistance of these mice to growth of the Meth A sarcoma, but not the antigenically unrelated BALB/c CI-4 sarcoma, and (b) induce an antitumor cellular ...

A M, 110,000 glycoprotein, designated gpllO, isolated from the concanavalin A-Sepharose-binding protein fraction of the chemically induced BALB/c Meth A sarcoma by Mono Q fast protein liquid chromatography, has been shown to: (a) increase the resistance of these mice to growth of the Meth A sarcoma, but not the antigenically unrelated BALB/c (1-4 sarcoma, and (b) induce an antitumor cellular im...

Background Vesigenurtacel-L is an allogeneic cell-based therapeutic cancer vaccine that was selected based on its expression of a range of tumor antigens (surviving, LAGE-1, MAGE-A3, MAGE-A11, PRAME and others) that are known to be expressed amongst a high proportion of primary bladder tumors. The parental cell line was transfected with an engineered secretable heat shock protein, gp96-Ig, whic...
