Detailed explanation-1: -An autoimmune disorder occurs when a person’s immune system mistakenly attacks their own body tissues. Autoimmune disorders are broadly grouped into two categories – ‘organ-specific’ means one organ is affected, while in ‘non-organ-specific’ disorders, multiple organs or body systems may be affected.
Detailed explanation-2: -Autoimmune disease occurs when a specific adaptive immune response is mounted against self antigens. The normal consequence of an adaptive immune response against a foreign antigen is the clearance of the antigen from the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Autoimmune disease happens when the body’s natural defense system can’t tell the difference between your own cells and foreign cells, causing the body to mistakenly attack normal cells. There are more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases that affect a wide range of body parts.
Detailed explanation-4: -Overview of Autoimmune Diseases In autoimmune diseases, immune cells known as autoantibodies target the body’s own healthy tissues by mistake, signaling the body to attack them.
Detailed explanation-5: -Autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system overreacts against the body’s own cells and tissues. Lupus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and celiac disease are all types of autoimmune disease.
