| Summary: | An overview that describes the current observations and hypotheses regarding the role of heat shock proteins (hsps) in important human fungal pathogens and their associated infections. It particularly examines their part in the immunology of these infections. Topics covered include the possibility of developing immunotherapy for systemic candidiasis in the form of human recombinant antibodies to candidal hsp90 of Aspergillus fumigatus and the water mold Achlya ambisexualis, and the role of hsps in adapting dimorphic fungi from a saprophytic to a parasitic state.
