A Hypothesis	2020-06-29		.txt	text/plain	5204	298	44	Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) induced disease (COVID-19) is a planetary emergency that is urging many research groups to redirect their efforts and to channel their experience towards understanding its pathogenesis. These human epitopes, in turn, can be recognized by circulating antibodies made against crossreactive microbial antigens; these antibodies behave like autoantibodies, causing the destruction of the stressed cells, representing a typical example of pathology caused by molecular mimicry and manifested as autoimmunity [30] . We hypothesize that, at the basis of the generalized activation of the immune system, there are molecular mimicry phenomena: the antibodies produced against the virus could turn into autoantibodies against crossreactive proteins expressed on human cells, causing autoimmunity with cell destruction.
