Autoimmunity
Description
Autoimmune disorders are characterised by the production of antibodies that react with host tissues or immune effector cells that are autoreactive to endogenous peptides. (Description adapted from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68001327 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68056704)
