Our aim was to determine antibodies against human HSP60 and mycobacterial HSP65 in sera of patients with coronary atherosclerosis. Methods: Immunoblot analyses of antibodies against human HSP60 and mycobacterial HSP65 were performed in serum from 117 patients with coronary atherosclerosis and 50 patients without angiographic evidence of coronary atherosclerosis. Results: Anti human HSP60 autoantibodies were found in 8 patients undergoing CABG (p=0,11). Anti mycobacterial HSP65 antibodies were found in six CABG patients and one patient without coronary atherosclerosis (p=0,68). Conclusions: This result is consistent with a previous report, suggesting that antibodies against human HSP60 or mycobacterial HSP65 may not be involved in coronary atherosclerosis. ER -
