Table 2 Factors that increase the rate of autoimmunity in coronavirus disease 2019
| The ability of the virus to infect nearly all the human body tissues |
| Large RNA with interrupted transcription increases the pool of epitopes with increased chances of molecular mimicry and interaction with the host immune system |
| The overlap between some viral and human peptides |
| The viral-induced tissue damage increases the chance of deviated immune system |
| The immunogenic effect of the robust and complex binding between sACE-2 and SARS-CoV-2 S protein |
