Popis: Current concepts of autoimmunity emphasize the role of antibodies in the development and maintenance of most autoimmune disorders. The problem concerning the role of autoantibodies in mediating disease is to show that a given autoantibody is an essential component of a pathological mechanism which leads to tissue damage and organ dysfunction. Besides the understanding of the pathogenesis, the precise characterization of the antibodies involved in an autoimmune process may have diagnostic and prognostic value.
