Abstract
Autoimmunity refers to the destruction of the body’s immune tolerance mechanism under the action of internal and external factors. On the one hand, the autoimmune B cells in the circulation increase in large quantities, and on the other hand, the self-reactive helper T lymphocytes promote the destruction of the self-tolerance of B lymphocytes. As a result, the immune system responds to its own components, producing antibodies against the self-components (auto-antibodies) and/or sensitized lymphocytes [1, 2].
