Modulation of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) gene expression in response to heat stress in chicken.

The present study was conducted to assess the effect of exposure to heat stress on the HSP70 gene expression pattern in chickens. The adult healthy birds ( = 15) grouped into three replicates of  = 5 each were used to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The PBMCs were subjected to heat stress at 42 °C for 1 h, and cells without heat stress (NHS) were taken as control.
