Antibody cross-reactivity

Question 9

what is Antibody cross-reactivity about in SC?

Answer 9

Antibodies produced in response to streptococcal M protein can cross-react with proteins of certain tissue (e.g., myocardial, nerve, joints) due to molecular mimicry. This cross-reactivity triggers a type II hypersensitivity reaction that causes local inflammation and thereby the clinical features of rheumatic fever. In this case, inflammation within the basal ganglia and cortical structures has led to Sydenham chorea

Answer 10

basal ganglia and cortical structure
