What (who) is molecular mimicry - definition


Molecular mimicry         
STRUCTURE OF A MOLECULE THAT IMITATES OR SIMULATES THE STRUCTURE OF A DIFFERENT MOLECULE
Antigenic mimickry; Antigenic mimicry
Molecular mimicry is defined as the theoretical possibility that sequence similarities between foreign and self-peptides are sufficient to result in the cross-activation of autoreactive T or B cells by pathogen-derived peptides. Despite the prevalence of several peptide sequences which can be both foreign and self in nature, a single antibody or TCR (T cell receptor) can be activated by just a few crucial residues which stresses the importance of structural homology in the theory of molecular mimicry.
