Sarcoidosis, Cancer and Molecular Mimicry
1 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
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. Available data suggest that structural analogy between tissue and...
