American Society for Microbiology (Verlag)
978-1-55581-194-5 (ISBN)
A comprehensive review of molecular mimicry. * Presents the latest scientific developments in how molecular mimicry between infectious agents and host molecules can lead to autoimmunity. * Covers molecular mimicry and autoimmunity in the context of specific diseases. * Offers a better understanding of how microbes may lead to autoimmune diseases. * Reviews the most current thinking about microbial pathogens and how they trigger autoimmunity.
