Molecular mimicry of microbial components by self components is thought to be the mechanism that accounts for the antigen and tissue specificity of immune responses in post-infectious autoimmune diseases. Little direct evidence exists, and research in this area has focused principally on T cell medi

Autoantibodies to the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) can act as thyrotropin agonists or antagonists, or can cause thyroid hypertrophy. Neither the autoantibody-binding sites on the TSHR nor the intracellular mechanisms by which the autoantibodies mediate their diverse functional effects are completely
In the past year, the major advances in understanding the genetics of autoimmune disease in both man and mouse have been made as a result of using the positional cloning approach. Construction of congenic mouse strains, and, in humans, the exploitation of linkage disequilibrium between very closely
