• TITLE: Heat shock proteins development in different stages of schistocerca gregaria as response to heavy metals intoxication

  AUTHORS: Hesham A. Yousef, Amira Afify, Afaf Abdel Meguid, Hany M. Hassan

  KEYWORDS: Hsps; Hsp70; Heavy Metals; Cd; Pb;S. Gergaria

  JOURNAL NAME: Natural Science, Vol.3 No.3, March 31, 2011

  ABSTRACT: The induction of heat shock proteins in different stages of S. gergaria exposed to long and short term contamination with heavy metals, Cd and Pb in food was determined, revealing a prominent variable effect in response to the term of exposure and the type of contamination. HSP 70 was specially quantified and characterized to reveal the probability of using HSP as a biomarker for pollution.
