Inter-Pathogen Peptide Sharing and the Original Antigenic Sin: Solving a Paradox

2018-08-31

Abstract excerpt

Aims: To analyse the peptide commonality among viral, bacterial, and protozoan pathogens, and the immunopathologic consequences in the human host. Methods: HPV16, HCMV,C. diphtheriae, B. pertussis, C. tetani, T. gondii,andT. cruziwere analysed for common amino acid sequences that are additionally shared with the human host. The pentapeptide, a minimal immune determinant in humoral and cellular immune recognition,...
