Abstract:
The primary property of the immune system is its ability to distinguish the organism's own substances from foreign bodies, to tolerate the former and to eliminate the latter. However, the immune reactions, in some cases, turn against own structures and when exceeding a particular threshold and duration, they begin to damage the tissues and organs causing autoimmune diseases.
