Introduction:
Autoimmune diseases are the diseases in which the immune system of the body acts abnormally against the normally present tissues in the body. The affected part may be a tissue present in different sites of the body or it can be an organ present in the body. The immune system produces antibodies which act against the involved tissue.
These autoimmune diseases are generally chronic and fatal in nature. These diseases are debilitating diseases and cause degeneration in the body.
