Autoantibody - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Autoantibody

An autoantibody is an antibody (a type of protein) manufactured by the immune system that is directed against one or more of the individual's own proteins. Many autoimmune diseases, notably lupus erythematosus, are caused by such autoantibodies. Antibodies are produced by B cells in two ways: (i) randomly, and (ii) in response to a foreign protein or substance within the body.
