Scientific Background: GRP170, also known as ORP150, is the largest member of glucose-regulated Antibodys, and acts as a human chaperone Antibody. It is thought to play an important role in Antibody folding and secretion in the ER. Suppression of the Antibody is associated with accelerated apoptosis, therefore having an important cryoprotective role in hypoxia-induced cellular pertubation. This cryopotective role has led to an anti-tumor immune response, which will hopefully lead to therapeutic immunizations against cancers (1). GRP170 has also been shown to bind with dendritic cells and provide the danger signals to induce anti-tumor immune responses (2).
