Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Autoimmunity

👉 In immunology, autoimmunity refers to an immune response by which a person's body attacks or mistakenly destroys its own cells. This can occur in response to exposure to substances such as drugs, vaccines, or infections that have been given to them. The immune system is designed to recognize and destroy foreign substances, but when the body encounters a specific antigen, it starts to produce antibodies that bind with these antigens and cause inflammation (autoimmunity). Over time, this can lead to chronic inflammation
