Edited by: Karen Young Kreeger K.W. Wucherpfennig, J.L. Strominger, "Molecular mimicry in T cell-mediated autoimmunity: Viral peptides activate human T cell clones specific for myelin basic protein," ...
Distinguishing between self and non-self is a critical ability of the immune system. Some pathogens have evolved proteins that resemble those of their host, a mechanism called molecular mimicry, in an ...
Scientists have found a potential cause of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) linked to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID) infections. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have ...
The results of preclinical research headed by a team at Karolinska Institutet have indicated how T cells that play a role in the immune system’s reaction to the common Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can ...
COVID infection has been linked to higher risk of autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. But why the virus might cause the body's immune system to go haywire remains ...
