Proteins alone will not replicate.

Prions don't really replicate either, they cause other existing proteins of the same type to fold wrongly also. It's more like an ice-9 situation.

That is also a very rare thing, it's not going to happen with any random protein and certainly not one that isn't native to the human body.
