The potential role of molecular mimicry by the anaerobic microbiota in the aetiology of autoimmune disease
20 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
Autoimmune diseases are thought to develop as a consequence of various environmental and genetic factors, each of which contributes to dysfunctional immune responses and/or a breakdown in immunological tolerance towards native structures. Molecular mimicry by microbial components is among the environmental factors thought to promote a breakdown in immune tolerance, particularly through the presence of...
