Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology: Cross-Reactivity Between Microbes and Host Proteins as a Cause of Autoimmunity

Oldstone, Michael B.A.

This volume focuses on the evidence for or against molecular mimicry as a cause of autoimmunity. Contributions from recognized experts present their original findings, and the final chapter reviews the overall perspective of molecular mimicry, how to use its principles in clinical investigation and list the conceptual traits by which autoimmune disaese can occur.
