Abstract
We have identified autoantibodies against α-enolase in a mouse model of BA (infected with RRV) and in serum samples from patients, indicating a role of humoral autoimmunity in disease pathogenesis. The cross-reactivity between an anti-enolase antibody and RRV proteins indicates that molecular mimicry might activate humoral autoimmunity in BA patients; further studies are required.
