- Autoantibodies: What They Are, Function, Production Types
Autoantibodies harm your body instead of keeping it healthy They mistakenly target healthy tissue, instead of protecting you from substances that can make you sick
- Autoantibody - Wikipedia
Disorders caused by organ specific autoantibodies, those that primarily target a single organ, (such as the thyroid in Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis), are often the easiest to diagnose as they frequently present with organ related symptoms
- What are Autoantibodies? - News-Medical. net
Antibodies that specifically react with self-antigens are called autoantibodies
- Definition of Autoimmunity Autoimmune Disease

autoantibody, harmful antibody that attacks components of the body called self antigens Normally autoantibodies are routinely eliminated by the immune system’s self-regulatory process—probably through the neutralization of autoantibody-producing lymphocytes before they mature
- Autoantibodies in Autoimmune Disorders: Mechanisms Diagnostic Utility . . .
Autoantibodies are indispensable tools in modern medicine, bridging the gap between molecular pathology and clinical practice Their roles extend far beyond diagnosis; they stratify disease subtypes, predict outcomes, and guide therapeutic decisions
- An updated advance of autoantibodies in autoimmune diseases
Autoantibodies are abnormal antibodies which are generated by pathogenic B cells when targeting an individual's own tissue Autoantibodies have been identified as a symbol of autoimmune disorders and are frequently considered a clinical marker of these disorders
- Nature and functions of autoantibodies
Autoantibodies are antibodies that react with self-antigens These antigens may be found in all cell types (e g chromatin, centromeres) or be highly specific for a specific cell type
