Immunization of mice with cognate cancer-derived heat-shock protein (hsp) preparations leads to protection from cancer growth. As hsp used for vaccination or therapy are derived from autologous cancers, questions of pathological autoimmunity are of immense significance for the ongoing translation of this approach to therapy of human cancer. Employing the sera of normal adult mice as the first antibody, highly sensitive immunoblotting revealed the presence of anti-hsp natural autoantibodies in healthy animals. Natural autoantibodies of the immunoglobulin D (IgD) isotype bind to gp96, whereas hsp70 was recognized by IgD and IgM autoantibodies. Neither hsp was recognized by the IgA, IgE or IgG immunoglobulins contained in the serum. The antigen-antibody recognition was titratable and dependent on the integrity of the IgD molecule. Sera from only a subset of the animals tested were found to be positive for autoantibodies against gp96 and hsp70, and individual and strain-specific variations were detected. Injection of gp96 into healthy mice did not show sustained or consistent anti-gp96 IgD antibody response, class switching, toxicity or pathological autoimmunity. IgD autoantibodies against gp96 and hsp70 were also not detected in the autoimmune lpr mice. These observations show the existence of a measured and tightly regulated natural immune response to hsp.
