alktipping liked jnmaciuch's post in the thread Molecular Mimicry Between Epstein-Barr Virus and Human Herpesvirus-6 Proteins and Central Nervous System Proteins: Implications for T and B Cell Immun.
Ah my bad, my (mis)understanding was that it molecular mimicry theories always involved some ex-post-facto "override of the veto", as...

alktipping liked Jonathan Edwards's post in the thread Molecular Mimicry Between Epstein-Barr Virus and Human Herpesvirus-6 Proteins and Central Nervous System Proteins: Implications for T and B Cell Immun.
IgM starts things off with a rough and ready binding. But nothing in the immune system can ever instruct. There are no moulds....

Peter Trewhitt liked poetinsf's post in the thread List of diseases with a known mechanism but no cure/treatment.

alktipping liked jnmaciuch's post in the thread Molecular Mimicry Between Epstein-Barr Virus and Human Herpesvirus-6 Proteins and Central Nervous System Proteins: Implications for T and B Cell Immun.
The process I have in mind is: 1) Virus infects host, virus has several human-lookalike proteins including viral protein X that...
