| Definitions |
[NCI-GLOSS Definition]: A condition in which the body recognizes its own tissues as foreign and directs an immune response against them. [CSP Definition]: Heading term for a diverse group of disorders characterized by pathologenic immune reactions to autologous (self) tissue; for nonnpatholgical, developmental, or phenomenological aspects of autoimmunity, use AUTOIMMUNITY. [NICHD Definition]: A disorder that may result in abnormality, impaired function or damage of one or more organs or tissues, arising from autoreactive humoral or cellular immune responses. [MSH Definition]: Disorders that are characterized by the production of antibodies that react with host tissues or immune effector cells that are autoreactive to endogenous peptides. [HPO Definition]: The occurrence of an immune reaction against the organism's own cells or tissues. [HPO Definition]: Maternal autoimmune diseases with potential adverse effects for the fetus include autoimmune forms of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, myasthenia gravis, systemic lupus erythematodes, and autoimmune forms of thrombocytopenia. [NCIt Definition]: A disorder resulting from loss of function or tissue destruction of an organ or multiple organs, arising from humoral or cellular immune responses of the individual to his own tissue constituents. It may be systemic (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus), or organ specific, (e.g., thyroiditis). |
