Autoimmune disease: why and where it occurs
Nat Med.
2001 Aug.
Abstract
Autoimmune disease is controlled by genetic and environmental factors. Both of these affect susceptibility to autoimmunity at three levels: the overall reactivity of the immune system, the specific antigen and its presentation, and the target issue.
