Those in self-nonself camp, the more dominant of the two camps, would see a threat in the molecular mimics and link those to autoimmunity. Whereas the danger or damage theory proponents would argue that the presence or absence of molecular mimicry by itself means nothing unless the mimicked code evokes damage. Data can be found supporting either argument.
