Heat Shock Proteins and Heat Shock Protein-Antibody Complexes in Placental Tissues
Abstract
Objective: The relationship between pregnancy outcome and expression of the heat shock proteins (hsps) or hsp-antibody complexes of 60kD (hsp60), 70kD (hsp70), and 90kD (hsp90) in placental tissue and circulating antibodies to hsps was evaluated.
