METHODS: Cells culture, flow cytometric analysis, affinity chromatography for protein purification, SDS-PAGE, Western-blotting and animal experiment were used. RESULTS: HSP70-PC immunization rendered protective effect to both naive tumorl-bearing mice. All of the naive mice obtained complete resistance to Hcaf cell attack; 40% of the tumor-bearing mice survived for over 90 days, whereas the mice of control group died within 2 weeks (P展开更多

Sixty healthy 6-week-old male Wulong geese were selected and randomly divided into three groups. The control group was slaughtered without heat treatment. Treatment group 1 was shocked with an acute heat treatment at （42 ± 1）℃ for 5 h before they were immediately slaughtered. Treatment group 2 was kept for 12 h after the heat treatment under normal conditions in order to recover and was then slaughtered. Cardiac tissue was taken in order to make paraffin sections for the immunohistochemistry experiment and the liver tissue was used to purify HSP70. The geese heart HSP70 expression differences in the three groups were determined and at the same time the experiments of HSP70 purification and appraisal in the liver tissue were carried on. HSP70 purification and synthesis of HBV PreS1 multi-peptides unified the complex, which was determined by bi-specific antibody enzyme-linked immune sandwich assay. The results indicated that widespread HSP70 positive pellets in the cardiac muscle were found under hot shock conditions. HSP70 expression in the treatment group 1 was centered in the karyotheca and its periphery, but in treatment group 2, it was centered in the surrounding cell membrane. The HSP70 purification could be obtained through two sets of purification plans; both the synthesis peptide and the HSP70 purification form the complex under certain conditions. The double antibody sandwich ELISA technique was applied to detect if the complex had been formed. Positive results showed that the complex was formed. The specific expression of HSP70 under heat shock shifted with time, suggesting that HSP70 possibly had some function in cell protection. High-purity HSP70 protein can be obtained under low-pressure chromatography conditions, and in comparison with each other, it was better in the flow of the molecular sieve preliminary separation, ConA-agarose chromatography and the ADP-agarose chromatography. Under certain condition in vitro, the synthetic peptide could combine with HSP70 to form the compound, thereby providing a further experimental foundation for the immunity function of the complex.展开更多

The activation and proliferation of mouse splenocytes by HSP70-peptide complex, formed by the binding of HSP70 and peptides in vitro, were observed, so was the specific cytotoxicity of the proliferative lymphocytes to tumor cells. The phenotypes of the proliferative lymphocytes were analyzed by a flow cytometer. BALB/c mice inoculated with H22 hepatocarcinoma cells in peritoneal cavity or hind thigh were immunized by injection with HSP70-peptides complex to observe the inhibitory effect of the immunization on tumor and lifetime of tumor-bearing mice. On the other hand, blood samples were collected from the immunized mice to check the functions of liver and kidney. The results showed that the peptides mixture from tumor cells contained tumor-specific antigen peptides which could be presented by HSP70 to activate lymphocytes in vitro, the proliferative lymphocytes were T cells which were specifically cytotoxic to tumor cells, the in vivo growth of both ascitic and solid carcinoma could be suppressed by immunization with HSP70-peptides and the lifetime of tumor-bearing mice was prolonged, the in vivo immunization with HSP70-H22-peptides had no impact on the function of mouse liver and kidney, suggesting that there was no occurrence of autoimmunity in vivo after immunization.展开更多
