Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your immune system is your body’s defense against infections and other harmful invaders. Without it, you would constantly get sick from bacteria or viruses.

Detailed explanation-2: -An autoimmune disorder occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue by mistake.

Detailed explanation-3: -How Does the Immune System Work? When the body senses foreign substances (called antigens), the immune system works to recognize the antigens and get rid of them. B lymphocytes are triggered to make antibodies (also called immunoglobulins). These proteins lock onto specific antigens.

Detailed explanation-4: -When your immune system is exposed to a new germ for the first time, it responds by trying to fight it off-which means you may become sick. But afterward, the immune cells will remember the invader and be better equipped to fight it, should it return.
