STAT5 is an additional transcription factor activated in response to a variety of cytokines and growth factors and is also involved in the activation of DC and macrophages (Hennighausen and Robinson, 2008). the induction of the MAP kinase pathway, the phosphorylation of STAT1, STAT5 and AKT and with transcription factor NF-B activationin vitroandin vivo. These results thus provide important insights into the mechanisms by which CRCL-based vaccines exert their adjuvant effects on antigen presenting cells. Keywords:Tumor vaccines, Dendritic cells, Macrophages, Cell signaling == Introduction == Heat shock proteins (HSP), also known as stress proteins or chaperone proteins, are the most abundant intracellular proteins present in all living organisms (Smith et al., 1998). They display a multitude of housekeeping functions, including the folding of nascent polypeptides, refolding of denatured proteins and…
