title: Heat shock proteins in immune reactions.
abstract: The review concerns heat shock proteins and their significance in immune reactions. It focuses on problems of physiological and pathological interactions in etiology and duration of autoimmune diseases and infection processes, especially fungal infections. New trends are described in exploitation of heat shock proteins for preparation of specific protective vaccines.
