Cross-Reactivity and sequence similarity between microbial transglutaminase and human antigens: expanded exposome of autoimmune diseases

2023-07-21

Abstract excerpt

Microbial transglutaminase (mTG) is a bacterial survival factor, frequently used as a food additive to glue processed nutrients. As a result, new immunogenic epitopes are generated that might drive autoimmunity. Presently, its contribution to autoimmunity through epitope similarity and cross-reactivity was investigated. Emboss Matcher was used to perform sequence alignment between mTG and various antigens implicat...
