Autoantibodies are well known as potentially highly harmful antibodies which attack the host
via binding to self-antigens, thus causing severe associated diseases and symptoms (eg …

Autoantibodies produced against self-antigens, or 'autoantigens', result from a loss of
selftolerance triggered by genetic and/or environmental factors which induce the immune …

Rapid advances in diagnostic technologies used to detect autoantibodies have made it
difficult for even the most modern laboratory to keep abreast of the changing approaches …

Detecting autoantibodies provides foundational information for the diagnosis of most
autoimmune diseases. An important pathophysiological distinction is whether …

The critical function of the immune system is to discriminate self from non-self. Tolerance
against self-antigens is a highly regulated process and, in order to maintain it, the immune …
