... °C for 5 h, and the expression of STAT3, Hsp70 and a-tubulin was analyzed by wes-tern blotting, using the respective antibodies. (B) The density of bands was quantified by densitometry, and was ... the Hsp105b expres-sion plasmid, the activation of the hsp70 promoter byHsp105b was not observed (Fig. 2B). On the otherhand, after deletion of the sequence of the hsp70 pro-moter to )194 ... shock wasretained, and the heat inductivity of the hsp70 pro-moter was dependent on the length of the 5¢-flankingsequence of the hsp70 gene (Fig. 2C). Thus, Hsp105bseemed to activate the hsp70...
