Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Autoimmune diseases arise when the immune system of the body itself start degrading the body’s tissue. The immune system mistakenly starts recognizing autoantigens rapidly and leads to the rapid destruction of body organs. Autoimmune diseases arise when the immune system loses the ability to silence the lymphocytes recognizing self-antigens.
