Immune cell functions in iron overload.

abstract：:Autoreactivity to heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) has been implicated in the pathogenesis and regulation of chronic inflammation, especially in autoimmune diseases. In transplantation, there is a lack of information regarding the cytokine profile and specificity of cells that recognize self-Hsp60 as well as the kinetics...
