- Autoantibody - Wikipedia
An autoantibody is an antibody (a type of protein) produced by the immune system that is directed against one or more of the individual's own proteins Many autoimmune diseases (notably lupus erythematosus) are associated with such antibodies
- 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 This damage can eventually cause many types of autoimmune diseases, including: Type 1 diabetes Rheumatoid arthritis Multiple sclerosis (MS) Lupus Graves’ disease Psoriasis

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

- Nature and functions of autoantibodies - PMC
Antibodies that react with self-molecules occur in healthy individuals and are referred to as natural antibodies or autoantibodies Natural autoantibodies are mainly IgM, are encoded by unmutated V (D)J genes and display a moderate affinity for self-antigens
- What are autoantibodies? - Johnson Johnson
Instead of reacting to the antigen, they respond to your body’s own proteins, leading—in some cases—to an abnormal immune response that attacks the cells, tissues and organs of your body and contributes to the development of autoantibody diseases
