HSP60 (Heat Shock Protein 60, 60kD chaperonin, 60kD heat shock protein mitochondrial, Chaperonin, 60-KD (CPN60), GROEL, HLD4, HSP65, HSPD1, HuCHA60, Mitochondrial matrix protein P1, P60 lymphocyte protein, Short heat shock protein 60 Hsp60s1, Spastic paraplegia 13 (SPG13)) (FITC)

Recognizes a 60kDa protein, identified as the heat shock protein 60 (hsp60). Its epitope is localized between aa 383-419 of human hsp60. A wide variety of environmental and pathophysiological stressful conditions trigger the synthesis of a family of proteins known as heat shock proteins (hsp’s), more appropriately called as stress response proteins (srp’s). hsp60 is a potential antigen in a number of autoimmune diseases. In human arthritis and in experimentally induced arthritis in animals, disease development coincides with the development of immune reactivity directed against not only bacterial hsp60, but also against its mammalian homolog. Clone LK1, unlike LK2, recognizes only the mammalian (not bacterial) hsp60 and is useful in distinguishing hsp60 from mammals and bacteria.||Applications: |Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Flow Cytometry (Not Tested), ELISA, Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry.
