472 results about "Heat shock protein" patented technology

Heat shock proteins (HSP) are a family of proteins that are produced by cells in response to exposure to stressful conditions. They were first described in relation to heat shock, but are now known to also be expressed during other stresses including exposure to cold, UV light and during wound healing or tissue remodeling. Many members of this group perform chaperone functions by stabilizing new proteins to ensure correct folding or by helping to refold proteins that were damaged by the cell stress. This increase in expression is transcriptionally regulated. The dramatic upregulation of the heat shock proteins is a key part of the heat shock response and is induced primarily by heat shock factor (HSF). HSPs are found in virtually all living organisms, from bacteria to humans.

Adjuvant immune therapy in the treatment of solid tumors through modulation of signaling pathways following engagement of humoral and cell mediated responses

The invention combines a novel combination with two especially important aspects: first, the invention proposes to simultaneously stimulate response in white blood cells and a patient's tumor cells with a mitogen-challenging compound, preferably a lectin, in the preferred mode the selected lectin being phytohemagglutin ("PHA"), and second, to generate heat shock protein. A method of treatment is set out. The method of manufacturing proposed utilizes a system calculated to better insure sterility and streamline production of the cytokine modulator. A method of testing in conjunction with the therapy is also claimed utilizing clinical assessment of disease activity, patient performance status, and quality of life questionnaire. Should efficacy of a treatment fall off, particularly because of mutation or adaption, the composition and method may be re- applied. The invention is not limited to humans, but is also applicable to mammals. The composition is usable as a stand-alone composition, but preferably is used in conjunction with standard therapy such as radiation, chemotherapy or surgery, particularly surgical therapy, and in conjunction with the administration of cystine, as later defined, to enhance immune system competency.
