Molecular mimicry: Can epitope mimicry induce autoimmune disease?
Mimicry of host antigens by infectious agents may induce cross‐reactive autoimmune responses to epitopes within host proteins which, in susceptible individuals, may tip the balance of immunological response versus tolerance toward response and subsequently lead to autoimmune disease. Epitope mimicry...
