What (who) is autoimmunity - definition
Autoimmunity
IMMUNE RESPONSES OF AN ORGANISM AGAINST ITS OWN HEALTHY CELLS AND TISSUES DUE TO FAILURE OF AN ORGANISM IN RECOGNIZING ITS OWN CONSTITUENT PARTS AS SELF
Autoimmune; Auto-immune; Autoimmunization; Autoantigen; Autoantigens; Autoimmune system; Epitope spreading; Autoimmmune response; Autoimmune injury; Autoimunity; Sex differences in autoimmunity
Autoimmunity is the system of immune responses of an organism against its own healthy cells, tissues and other body normal constituents. Any disease resulting from this type of immune response is termed an "autoimmune disease".
Autoimmunity (journal)
JOURNAL
Autoimmunity is an international, peer-reviewed medical journal that covers the pathogenesis, immunology, genetics, and molecular biology of immune and autoimmune responses. In addition, the journal focuses on the autoimmune processes associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren syndrome, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and other systemic and organ-specific autoimmune diseases.

2. In the research, which has recently been published by the Scientific Research Affairs Sector (RAS) of the UAE University, the researchers said several studies had shown an association between thyroid autoimmunity in pregnancy and subsequent incidental miscarriage.
3. It states: ‘As this is only the first time this drug will be given to man, this study may involve risks currently unforeseen.‘ It adds: ‘It is possible that you will not experience any side effects at allas the doses used in early human studies are always very small, and increased only ... but the following unintended effects may theoretically be encountered during any trial with a monoclonal antibody drug, though they did not occur even at the highest tested doses in animals.‘ It lists the possible side effects as ‘immunosuppression [increasing susceptibility to infection], autoimmunity [antibodies made by your own body against the drug], cytokine release [causing a hives–like allergic reaction] or anaphylaxis [a generalised allergic reaction that can be life–threatening].‘ It emerged this weekend that the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) which authorised the trial was notified beforehand that there was this risk of cytokine release.
