For example, molecular mimicry between a pathogen-derived antigen ... This maintains chronic disease with the subsequent epitope spreading to other CNS antigens. The disease course is biphasic ...

Altindis recently discovered viral insulins and bacterial insulin epitope mimics. Altindis’s lab is looking for evidence that Type 1 diabetes is caused by a molecular mimicry mechanism, where exposure ...

Blocking experiments confirmed the presence of cross-reactive antibodies and molecular mimicry between EBNA1 and GlialCAM, and accompanying antibody responses against adjacent peptide regions of ...

We did epitope mapping with BLAST and found many instances of peptide ... Sequence homology is also the basis for molecular mimicry, an evolutionary strategy adopted by viruses to exploit the host ...

Nearly all MS patients are EBV carriers, but the mechanisms connecting the virus to neurodegeneration remained unclear until recent studies identified molecular mimicry between EBV ... higher in MS ...

Antibodies targeting Group A Streptococcus (GAS) epitope can cross-react with autoantigens of the valve endothelium by molecular mimicry, leading to endothelial activation and subsequent infiltration ...

Scientists have replicated the luxurious mouthfeel of foie gras using the liver and fat of ducks reared and slaughtered ...

Growing up, I can remember almost all of the tattered and worn posters that adorned the classrooms of my school. Many of them had historical timelines, periodic tables, and the ...

The chick has long downy feathers that resemble irritant hairs in some caterpillar species native to the area.

In an interview with The Lallantop, Kettan was asked about the controversy that erupted after Karan took offence to his mimicry. Kettan said that he was approached by a colleague, who suggested that ...
