Molecular mimicry by Trypanosoma cruzi: the F1-160 epitope that mimics mammalian nerve can be mapped to a 12-amino acid peptide.

Antigenic mimicry by Trypanosoma cruzi antigens that share epitopes with mammalian tissues may drive autoreactive B- or T-cell clones to expand and cause autoimmune pathogenesis. We have been studying one of these antigens, F1-160, a 160-kDa protein on the surface of T. cruzi that antigenically mimi...
