Sarcoidosis, Cancer and Molecular Mimicry [PDF]
International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2013 Molecular mimicry seems to be the most important factor for the heterogeneous clinical presentation and the immunopathogenesis of sarcoidosis. Molecular mimicry may occur as a result of altered activity of oncogenes. This can lead to crossed-type mediated body reactions targeting structurally similar sections or regions from the tissue homeostasis ...

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

The impact of antigenic molecular mimicry on anti-cancer T-cell immune response
Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 Individuals are exposed to intracellular pathogens (i.e. viruses and intracellular bacteria) and intestinal microbiota, collectively microorganisms (MOs), which enter the body during the host’s lifetime.

Anti-ganglioside antibodies in patients with Zika virus infection-associated Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Brazil. [PDF]
, 2019 Zika virus infection is associated with the development of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a neurological autoimmune disorder caused by immune recognition of gangliosides and other components at nerve membranes.

Pathogens, 2022 Clinical epidemiological studies have reported that viral infections cause autoimmune pathology in humans. Host-pathogen protein sequences and structure-based molecular mimicry cause autoreactive T cells to cross-activate.

From Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Immune Responses to COVID-19 via Molecular Mimicry
Antibodies, 2020 Aim: To define the autoimmune potential of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Methods: Experimentally validated epitopes cataloged at the Immune Epitope DataBase (IEDB) and present in SARS-CoV-2 were analyzed for ...

Lack of Evidence for Molecular Mimicry in HIV-Infected Subjects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Previous studies in HIV patients have reported autoantibodies to several human proteins, including erythropoietin (EPO), interferon-α (IFN-α), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and HLA-DR, as potential mediators of anemia or immunosuppression.

Cell Death Discovery, 2020 The hand of molecular mimicry in shaping SARS-CoV-2 evolution and immune evasion remains to be deciphered. Here, we report 33 distinct 8-mer/9-mer peptides that are identical between SARS-CoV-2 and the human reference proteome.

Molecular mimicry: Basis for autoimmunity [PDF]
Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 2000 Structural similarity between a viral protein and a self-component can trigger an autoimmune response, which is the basis of molecular mimicry. Alternatively an invading virus can induce an inflammatory response which in turn can initiate an attack by hitherto dormant T cells on a specific self-antigen, a phenomenon which is referred to as Bystander ...
