Abstract

The term stress has become an indispensable part of everyday vocabulary to describe the sterotype and ubiquitous response of man toward exogenous insults. More recently this term has also found its way into the vocabulary of cell biologists to describe a particular cell response. Adoption of this term by cell biologists seems appropriate because in cells a universal and ubiquitous response toward exogenous assaults can also be found (Kaufmann 1990; Young 1990). The cellular stress response is ubiquitous because it appears in every living cell of the universe and it is stereotype because in every cell the same pattern of response occurs. The cellular stress response is characterized by the increased synthesis of a certain group of proteins which, accordingly, have been termed stress proteins.
