Autoimmunity
Autoimmunity is the failure of an organism to recognize its own constituent parts (down to the sub-molecular levels) as "self", which results in an immune response against its own cells and tissues. Any disease that results from such an aberrant immune response is termed an autoimmune disease. Prominent examples include Coeliac diseasediabetes mellitus type 1 (IDDM), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren's syndrome,  multiple sclerosis (MS), Hashimoto's thyroiditisGraves' diseaseidiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). See List of autoimmune diseases.
