The present invention relates to DNA sequence coding for part or all of the heat shock transcription factor or heat shock factor (HSF) proteins derived from humans and Drosophila and the proteins , encoded by these sequences. The present invention also includes methods for detecting HSF in a biological sample. The presence of HSF in the nucleus of a colt can be detected with specific anti-HSF antibody reagents. The presence of such HSF proteins in the nucleus indicates a stressed condition including diseases. Furthermore, the presence of multimeric HSF in the crude ar fractionated cell extract is indicative of a stressed state.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 22, 1991 and granted April 22, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 22, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 22, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
