I'm on a packed 2-car EMR 158 from Nottingham to Peterborough. Lots of people with luggage going home for the holidays. It's very warm, something in the drivetrain is whining horribly, but at least it's on-time!

What causes the immune system to identify the mRNA-generated LRG1 as a "foreign" protein? Given that the body produces it naturally, you would think it would just be ignored?

I don't know enough biology to understand the mechanisms at work here.

I came through Pad a few hours ago, glad I escaped all that! Hope you get where you're going soon.
