Article Synopsis
- - Natural autoantibodies (NAbs) are produced throughout life and can recognize both self and foreign antigens, with implications in disease screening, especially in blood donors.
- - This study utilized bioinformatics to identify a peptide from the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A that could be recognized by NAbs in uninfected individuals, highlighting the similarities between the HCV and human proteomes.
- - Testing of synthesized peptides revealed that HCV-negative sera showed significant reactivity to both the virus-specific and human peptides, while HCV-positive sera showed similar reactivity levels, suggesting that NAbs may be naturally produced rather than being a response to infections.
