The molecular mimicry and COVID-19

open access: yesИнфекция и иммунитет, 2023
A significant part of the complications of COVID-19 and manifestations of post-COVID syndrome is associated with autoimmune reactions caused by SARS-CoV-2.

A comparative study of the function of heterospecific vocal mimicry in European passerines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Although heterospecific vocal imitation is well documented in passerines, the evolutionary correlates of this phenomenon are poorly known. Here, we studied interspecific variation in vocal mimicry in a comparative study of 241 European songbirds.

Carbohydrate Mimetic Peptides for Pan Anti-Tumor Responses

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2014
Molecular mimicry is fundamental to biology which transcends to many disciplines ranging from immune pathology to drug design. Structural characterization of molecular partners has provided insight into the origins and relative importance of ...

SARS-CoV-2-Induced Immunosuppression: A Molecular Mimicry Syndrome

open access: yesGlobal Medical Genetics, 2022
Background Contrary to immunological expectations, decay of adaptive responses against severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) characterizes recovered patients compared with patients who had a severe disease course or died following ...

Molecular Mimicry between Respiratory Syncytial Virus F Antigen and the Human Proteome

open access: yesGlobal Medical Genetics, 2023
This study examined respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F glycoprotein (gp) antigen for molecular mimicry with the human proteome. It was found that the viral antigen presents an impressive number of pentapeptides (namely, 525 out of 570) in common with ...

Cognitive dimensions of predator responses to imperfect mimicry? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Many palatable insects, for example hoverflies, deter predators by mimicking well-defended insects such as wasps. However, for human observers, these flies often seem to be little better than caricatures of wasps – their visual appearance and ...

Role of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis infection in etiopathogenesis of type 1 diabetes: A review of population-based studies

open access: yesJournal of Diabetology, 2023
Introduction: Multiple mechanisms were proposed for the etiopathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). An interplay between genetic, environmental, and immunological factors leads to generate autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 ...

miPepBase: A Database of Experimentally Verified Peptides Involved in Molecular Mimicry

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Autoimmune diseases emerge due to several reasons, of which molecular mimicry i.e., similarity between the host's and pathogen's interacting peptides is an important reason. In the present study we have reported a database of only experimentally verified
