To attain its purpose as a detailed translational step to tackle autoimmunity, this volume sufficiently addresses basic questions on how the immune system is designed to distinguish self from nonself. It discusses the known mechanisms that lead to the maintenance of self-tolerance, presents potential triggers and malfunctions that impede normal immune processes, and demonstrates how the immune system induces an autoreactive state that results in the recognition of self-antigens seen in autoimmune conditions. – Includes coverage of basic immunology, the clinical aspects of autoimmunity, and translational immunology studies in autoimmunity- Presents key concepts supported by a systematic appraisal of the most recent evidence- Assists students at all the academic levels while also being applicable to scientists who work with autoimmunity- Designed for learning, teaching, review, testing, practice and research
