Sequence homology of the diabetes-associated autoantigen glutamate decarboxylase with coxsackie B4-2C protein and heat shock protein 60 mediates no molecular mimicry of autoantibodies

Molecular mimicry between viral antigens and host proteins was often suggested to be involved in induction of autoimmune diseases. In type 1 diabetes where pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by autoimmune phenomena, a linear sequence homology between a major autoantigen, glutamate decarboxylase (GA...
