Abstract:
At the most recent meeting of the Scandinavian Society for Immunology in Bergen, one of the major target phenomena was autoimmune diseases. The approach started from the evolutionary origins of immunity, went on to review some of the notable advances in molecular architecture of immune processes and finally focussed the findings on autoimmune disease.
