Application Brief 1008: Hsp70 NanoPro Assay

The 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (Hsp70) are a family of ubiquitously expressed heat shock proteins. Proteins with similar structure exist in virtually all living organisms. The Hsp70s are an important part of the cell's machinery, and help to protect proteins from misfolding under stress. We show an increase of Hsp-70 expression in response to heat shock at 42ºC in A549 cells.
