The same authors uncovered amino acid sequence homology between HCMV pp65422–439 and the TATA-box binding protein associated factor 9 (TAF9134–144) and detected the presence of specific antibodies against these epitopes in association with anti-nuclear and anti-dsDNA antibodies, typically found in SLE, alongside increased anti-TAF9 antibodies in sera from SLE patients [86]. The gene discussed is TAF9; the disease is systemic lupus erythematosus.
