Covid-19, heat shock proteins, and autoimmune bullous diseases: a potential link deserving further attention

16 Nov 2020

Abstract excerpt

A link between Covid-19 and development of autoimmunity has been reported. A possible explanation could be molecular mimicry between SARS-CoV-2 and human proteins. Peptide sharing has been found between antigenic epitopes of this virus and heat shock proteins (Hsp) 60 and 90, both of which are associated with autoimmune diseases including those of the bullous type. In particular, there is evidence for the latter...
