Identification of a cross-reactive self ligand in virus-mediated autoimmunity.
Molecular mimicry has been considered to be one of the potential mechanisms underlying the induction of autoimmune diseases. Using a TCR-transgenic model specific for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) we have examined the potential for cross-reactive recognition of tissue-restricted self pep...
