"Autoimmune response" refers to a situation when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy cells instead of foreign invaders like bacteria or viruses.
Full definition
Most researchers assume some kind
of autoimmune response, in which a person's own defense system attacks rather than ignores the body's own tissues, is at work.

autoimmune response as a side effect, he adds.

destructive autoimmune response to normal issue.

autoimmune responses within the body.

autoimmune responses in many people and can be responsible for Hashimoto's thyroiditis, a common autoimmune thyroid condition.

autoimmune responses from developing.
Displaced bacteria can
activate autoimmune responses and inflammation, which are known to be associated with the onset of depression, lower mood and fatigue.

suppress autoimmune responses as measured by levels of MOG35 -55-specific lymphoproliferative responses and pro-inflammatory cytokine production.
«Understanding the molecular mechanism that leads to CD8 T cell exhaustion brings us a step closer to developing strategies to induce optimal T cell responses that can successfully clear infections and kill tumor cells,» explains postdoctoral researcher and co-lead author Renata M. Pereira, Ph.D. «Conversely, it may allow us to interfere
with autoimmune responses that paradoxically depend on the same protein.»
According to Fiore, Latrofa, and Vitti (2015), «Thyroglobulin (TG) is an important target in iodine -
induced autoimmune response due to post-translational modifications of iodinated TG,» as thyroglobulin is the only self - antigen subject to post-translational alterations resulting from exogenous iodine supply (9, p. 26).
Because the technique targets T cells, which are involved in various kinds of immune responses, in a non-specific way, Chan worries that the approach might induce an
excessive autoimmune response in which the cells would start attacking the gut, or adrenaline glands or other normal tissue.
Over the course of several visits, Bolte studied Palmer's food diaries and helped him nail down which foods were most likely to trigger the
painful autoimmune response.
The
same autoimmune response that triggered the disease would likely attack new β cells derived from the patient's own iPS cells, and a normal immune response would destroy ES - derived β cells, which would appear foreign.

lower autoimmune response.
One way to
improve autoimmune response is to use nanotechnology to encourage the growth of health - enhancing microbiomes in homes and schools.
Researchers have been trying to achieve this for decades, with previous studies demonstrating that a synthetic version of so - called α - GalCer ligands — that is, ligands that
regulate autoimmune responses and how our immune system responds to tumors — can fight tumors in mice.
In Stiff Person Syndrome, which is a rare autoimmune disease in the central nervous system with autoantibodies targeting glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65), the
humoral autoimmune response was shown to consist of a Rituximab - sensitive part rapidly cleared after treatment, and a Rituximab - resistant part from long - lived and persistent plasma cells acting as a reservoir for secretion of autoantibodies.
In their latest work, reported online in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the scientists analyzed blood from such mice and identified two types of
autoimmune response directed specifically against the protein, with the first response directed by a specialized kind of immune system cells called T cells and the second by antibodies.
They've recently identified an enzyme that modifies gluten in the digestive tract, leading to the
actual autoimmune response, which might improve treatment options in the future.
Another potential mechanism through which iodine exacerbates or induces Hashimoto's is by up - regulating Th17 cells, the immune cell subset responsible for tissue destruction in autoimmune disease, and by suppressing development of regulatory T cells, the population that invokes oral tolerance to
arrest autoimmune responses (31).
It is hypothesized that in genetically predisposed people of all ages, gluten stimulates an inappropriate T cell -
mediated autoimmune response in the intestinal submucosa that results in destruction of mucosal enterocytes.
Long - term «leakiness» may also predispose an individual to
autoimmune responses such as Crohn's disease (inflammatory bowel disease) and rheumatoid arthritis.
Putting aside the rare article about how female self - hatred or repression causes autoimmunity (because victim blaming is so uncool), it's true that there are some pretty clear links
between autoimmune responses and lifestyle.
At the same time, medicinal mushrooms can act to calm your body's
over-reactive autoimmune response, essentially performing double duty to ward off illness by giving your immunity a «jump start» while also alleviating symptoms of such conditions as psoriasis, lupus and arthritis.
-- Consumption of meat and dairy products (can
trigger autoimmune response and causes hormonal imbalance), refined, junk and processed foods, refined sugar, white flour products, high glucose (high fructose) syrup, stimulants (including coffee, tea, green tea, cola, etc., nutritional deficiencies, white pasta, white rice, processed foods, stress, lack of exercise, etc..
He also says that the team is reassured by the FDA - approved antibody therapies, which did not show a high rate
of autoimmune response.
But this process is important because «if the apoptotic cells are not properly cleared... it will affect the cell death activation» in organisms like worms and cause persistent inflammation and
autoimmune responses in humans.

an autoimmune response.

an autoimmune response that attacks the lining of the small intestine.
