Activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway is differentially required for TCR-stimulated production of six cytokines in primary T lymphocytes.

abstract：:Auto-antibodies against heat shock proteins (HSPs) are frequently found in the sera of patients with rheumatic and other autoimmune diseases. However, it is unclear whether these auto-antibodies play a role in the pathophysiology and etiology of these diseases. We found that a murine anti-HSP60 mAb enhanced the produc...
