Possible pathways leading to postvaccination ocular disease by molecular mimicry. When antigenic substance contained in vaccine and a self-protein contain peptide epitope recognized by the same T cell, exogenous antigen-specific T cells can attack not only infected cells but also uninfected cells displaying the same epitope. MHC, Major Histocompatibility Complex; TCR, T-cell receptor.
