In this way, proteomic scrutiny of tumor-associated proteins, autoantigens, and pathogen antigens offers the tools for fighting cancer, autoimmunity, and infections. Comparative proteomics and immunoproteomics, the new scientific disciplines generated by proteomics, are the main themes of the present review that describes how comparative analyses of pathogen and human proteomes led to re-modulate the molecular mimicry concept of the pre-proteomic era. I.e. before proteomics, molecular mimicry - the sharing of peptide sequences between two biological entities - was considered as intrinsically endowed with immunologic properties and was related to cross-reactivity. Proteomics allowed to redefine such an assumption using physicochemical parameters according to which frequency and hydrophobicity preferentially confer an immunologic potential to shared peptide sequences. Proteomics is outlining peptide platforms to be used for the diagnostics and management of human diseases. A Molecular Medicine targeted to obtain healing without paying the price for adverse events is on the horizon. The next step is to take up the challenge and operate the paradigm shift that the current proteomic era requires.
