chaperone in serum from healthy men.They reported that HSP70 in serum was not associated with any syndrome or disease in the persons they studied.Other investigators have found HSP70 in serum in association with pathologic conditions, as Drs.Adewoye and McMahon have done.For example, Njemini et al. 2 reported that in elderly people, HSP70 in serum was associated with inflammatory syndromes.Investigations should continue to elucidate why and by what mechanism chaperones appear in biologic fluids and whether these extracellular chaperones are initiators of autoimmune pathogenesis or are useful disease markers.
