> What happens if a sub-sequence of peptide matches with one of our own's body proteins and our immune system starts building antibody against it?

The peptide sequences are listed on the whitepaper, so it’s a matter of BLASTing[1] them against the human proteome to check for possible matches. I just did it and there doesn’t seem to be any statistically significant hit.
