Extracellular HSP70 has been found to participate in both innate and adaptive immune
responses. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that mediate this
process. Previous reports suggest that HSP70 interacts with antigen presenting cells (APC)
through a plethora of surface receptors. In this study, we have examined the relative binding
of potential HSP70 receptors and found high affinity binding to LOX-1 but not other
structures with a role in HSP70–APC interactions such as LRP/CD91, CD40, TLR2, TLR4 or …

In addition to APC, HSP70 can avidly bind to non-APC cell lines, especially those from epithelial or endothelial background.
