Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides the use of HspBP1 protein or part thereof for the preparation of an anti-tumor pharmaceutical composition, and its optional combination with one or more chemotherapeutic agents. Also disclosed are: a gene construct for the expression of said binder; a production process; a process of evaluation of tumor cells; and a method of sensitization of tumors to chemotherapeutic agents. The invention also provides a new experimental model in vivo and in vitro for the development/evaluation of anti-tumor agents. The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention provide anti-tumor action and have high specificity to neoplastic cells, resulting in less cytotoxicity to normal dividing cells. These and other advantages of the invention are characterized as a solution to the drawbacks of currently known chemotherapy therapeutic regimens.
