      Recognition of self is essential for repertoire selection, immune regulation, and autoimmunity and may be a consequence of infection. Self-induced recognition may represent the escape mechanism adopted by pathogens but may ...

    • Molecular mimicry of host structures by bacterial lipopolysaccharides and its contribution to disease 

      Moran, Anthony P.; Prendergast, Martina M.; Appelmelk, Ben J. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 1996-12-01)
      The core oligosaccharides of low-molecular-weight lipopolysaccharide (LPS), also termed lipooligosaccharide (LOS), of pathogenic Neisseria spp. mimic the carbohydrate moieties of glycosphingolipids present on human cells. ...
