[OpenUrl][1][Abstract/FREE Full Text][2] #### Purpose of the Study The onset of autoimmune disease sometimes follows an acute viral infection. One possible explanation for this phenomenon is “molecular mimicry.” According to this hypothesis, a virus could trigger autoimmunity if one of the viral proteins is very similar in structure … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DScience%26rft.stitle%253DScience%26rft.issn%253D0036-8075%26rft.aulast%253DZhao%26rft.auinit1%253DZ.%26rft.volume%253D279%26rft.issue%253D5355%26rft.spage%253D1344%26rft.epage%253D1347%26rft.atitle%253DMolecular%2BMimicry%2Bby%2BHerpes%2BSimplex%2BVirus-Type%2B1%253A%2BAutoimmune%2BDisease%2BAfter%2BViral%2BInfection%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1126%252Fscience.279.5355.1344%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F9478893%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [2]: /lookup/ijlink?linkType=ABST&journalCode=sci&resid=279/5355/1344&atom=%2Fpediatrics%2F104%2FSupplement_2%2F403.2.atom
