Antibodies from multiple sclerosis patients preferentially recognize hyperglucosylated adhesin of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae
In autoimmune diseases, there have been proposals that exogenous “molecular triggers”, i.e., specific ‘non-self antigens’ accompanying infectious agents, might disrupt control of the adaptive immune system resulting in serious pathologies. The etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) remains unclear. How...
