Identification of T cell autoepitopes that cross-react with the C-terminal segment of the M protein of group A streptococci

1 Jan 1994

Abstract excerpt

Rheumatic fever (RF) follows a throat infection with different M-serotypes of beta-hemolytic group A streptococci (GAS) and can affect different tissues, predominantly the heart. It is thought to be an autoimmune illness. Although histological examination of affected heart shows an infiltrate consisting mainly of T cells, antigens or epitopes that could be putative targets of autoimmune T cells have not been...
