Heat-shock proteins chaperone antigenic peptides that are generated within cells. Such
chaperoning is a part of the endogenous pathway of antigen presentation by MHC class I
molecules. In addition, peptides that are chaperoned by heat-shock proteins, or are released
by cell stress or death, are taken up by antigen-presenting cells and re-presented by their
MHC molecules.
