... Autoimmune disease occurs when an immune response attacks our own tissues. Like all adaptive immune responses, it is focused on specific antigens by T-cell receptors and B cell receptors. In contrast to infection, the antigens that these cells recognise are processed from proteins within the target ...

... The presence of DNA and aberrant RNA in the cytoplasm is a danger signal that alerts the host immune system to eliminate microbial infections, but inappropriate activation of these pathways can also lead to autoimmune diseases such as lupus. My talk will focus on our recent work on the discovery of ...
