GPU-Accelerated Discovery of Pathogen-Derived Molecular Mimics of a T-Cell Insulin Epitope

GPU-Accelerated Discovery of Pathogen-Derived Molecular Mimics of a T-Cell Insulin Epitope

The strong links between (Human Leukocyte Antigen) HLA, infection and autoimmunity combine to implicate T-cells as primary triggers of autoimmune disease (AD). T-cell crossreactivity between microbially-derived peptides and self-peptides has been shown to break tolerance and trigger AD in experiment...
