Autoimmunity
... 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 ...
