Tropomyosin and molecular mimicry
Parasitology Today, 1991cyst investiture in nonmuscle tropo- myosin may play a role in immune evasion in the snail host by protecting the sporocyst from amoebocyte attack. If true, this would be a prime example of molecular mimicry in its full and original sense s , which links common structures to the host-parasite relationship.

Molecular Mimicry in Mercury Toxicology
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2006Molecular mimicry occurs when one molecular entity is "mistaken" for another by cellular or other biological processes, and is thought to arise from structural similarities between the two molecules in question. It has been postulated by others to be important in the mechanism of uptake of toxic metal species into living tissues.

Molecular Mimicry and Diabetes
1989Insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) often develops early in life and is associated with lifelong insulin treatment, a reduced life span, and serious long-term complications (Borch-Johnsen et al. 1986). Other forms of diabetes exist (National Diabetes Data Group 1979), e.g., noninsulin-dependent diabetes, maturity onset diabetes in the young (MODY), and ...

Structural Basis of Molecular Mimicry
Journal of Autoimmunity, 2001Infectious agents are thought to play an important role in the development of autoimmune diseases. Sequence similarity between infectious agents and self-proteins (molecular mimicry) has been proposed as a mechanism for the induction of autoimmunity [1].
