Recombinant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis HSP65 is produced in E.coli and has a Mw of 57.4 kDa. The HSP65 protein is fused to His-Tag at N-Terminus and purified by stabdard chromatography techniques.
Heat shock proteins induce pro-inflammatory cytokines. Mycobacterial HSPs participate in cytokine expression resulting from infection by M. tuberculosis. Furthermore, HSPs stabilize cellular proteins in response to various sources of stress or injury. HSP65 is one of the most essential defending immunogens against the tuberculosis infection. HSP65 is presented to human CD41 T cells in association with multiple HLA-DR molecules. The M. tuberculosis HSP65 signals through TLR4.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized HSP-65 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
