🧬 Molecular Mimicry & Cross-Reactive Autoimmunity

Tune how closely a pathogen's surface antigen resembles one of the body's own self-proteins and watch trained antibodies cross-react with self-tissue after infection clears, driving autoimmune damage that scales with structural similarity.

Set how closely a pathogen's surface antigen resembles one of the body's own self-proteins, then watch trained antibodies always neutralize the pathogen but, once infection clears, keep circulating and cross-attacking self-tissue at a rate that scales with that structural similarity — with live readouts of similarity, cross-reactive binding strength and accumulated autoimmune tissue damage.
