Abstract
The immune system is normally focused on responding to foreign materials and has an
inbuilt tendency to avoid attacking self tissues. But when this process goes wrong,
the immune system can attack self tissues resulting in autoimmune disease. Autoimmunity is
the failure of an organism to recognize its own constituent parts as self, which allows an
immune response against its own cells and tissues.
