Antibodies to the atherosclerotic plaque components beta2-glycoprotein I and heat-shock proteins as risk factors for acute cerebral ischemia

One third of cases of cerebral ischemia have no clear etiology. A humoral response to the atherosclerotic plaques components beta2-glycoprotein l (beta2-gpl) and heat-shock proteins (Hsp) might be involved in the pathogenesis of stroke.
