Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2021 Molecular mimicry is one of the evolutionary strategies that parasites use to manipulate the host metabolism and perform an effective infection. This phenomenon has been observed in several animal and plant pathosystems.

Genome-wide identification of molecular mimicry candidates in parasites. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Among the many strategies employed by parasites for immune evasion and host manipulation, one of the most fascinating is molecular mimicry. With genome sequences available for host and parasite, mimicry of linear amino acid epitopes can be investigated ...

Molecular Mimicry and Autoimmunity [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 1999 Autoimmune disease is the consequence of an immune response against self-antigens that results in the damage and eventual dysfunction of target organs. Although the triggering event in most autoimmune diseases is unknown, an infectious cause has long been postulated to explain the development of autoimmunity. Molecular mimicry is one mechanism by which

Molecular mimicry between SARS‐CoV‐2 and the female reproductive system
American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2021 Oogenesis, the process of egg production by the ovary, involves a complex differentiation program leading to the production of functional oocytes. This process comprises a sequential pathway of steps that are finely regulated.

Conformational Plasticity of HLA-B27 Molecules Correlates Inversely With Efficiency of Negative T Cell Selection [PDF]
, 2020 The development of autoimmune disorders is incompletely understood. Inefficient thymic T cell selection against self-peptides presented by major histocompatibility antigens (HLA in humans) may contribute to the emergence of auto-reactive effector cells ...

From Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Immune Response to the Cytokine Storm via Molecular Mimicry
Antibodies, 2021 The aim of this study was to investigate the role of molecular mimicry in the cytokine storms associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Human proteins endowed with anti-inflammatory activity were assembled and analyzed

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2021 Approximately 30% of individuals with severe SARS-CoV-2 infections also develop neurological and psychiatric complaints. In rare cases, the occurrence of autoimmune encephalitis has been reported after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Immunologic research, 2020 The ethiopathology of the diseasome induced by the SARSCoV-2 infection in the human host [1] is under intensive investigation. A likely mechanism is that the multitude of the diseases encompassed within COVID-19 derives frommolecular mimicry phenomena ...
