摘要：

Accumulating evidence suggests that RNA molecules can form surfaces that mimic those of proteins. Reactivity of autoantibodies with RNA surfaces may be due to cross-reactivity between a protein epitope and the RNA. The structural mimicry detected by an autoantibody may reflect functional mimicry.
