Abstract
Microencapsulated heat shock proteins HSP 70 were studied in terms of their effects on neutrophil apoptosis, production of reactive oxygen species, and secretion of TNF-α by human neurtrophils and monocytes. Encapsulated HSP70 inhibited neutrophil apoptosis by 65% as compared to the effect of nonencapsulated HSP70; TNF-α production by the promonocytic THP-1 cells was similarly inhibited by the non-encapsulated and encapsulated HSP70. Thus, the polyelectrolyte micromolecules can be used as containers for effective delivery of HSP70 up to neutrophils and monocytes to correct the innate immunity functions.
