Stress proteins among which Hsp 70 are a well preserved defense system against environmental stress and potentially good biomarkers. The project aims at the improvement of the method for quantitative determination of Hsp 70 in 3 different aquatic organisms. This implies a.o. purification and characterisation of Hsp 70, optimalization of quantification via ELISA and determination of the influence of the stressor and the laboratory organism on the quantification.
