Tolling for autoimmunity-prime time for 7
Abstract
The reason certain self-antigens are consistently targeted by autoantibodies may be because they are self-adjuvants. Two papers in this issue of Immunity provide important insights into the contribution of Toll-like receptors in systemic autoimmune disease (Berland et al., 2006; Christensen et al., 2006).
