“There is no vaccine, and none is likely because the role of autoimmunity in pathogenesis is under dispute.”

“These genes explain the tendency for autoimmunity to run in families, with variable expressions of disease in affected individuals.”

“Deborah Doniach was part of a ground-breaking team that showed that Hashimoto's disease of the thyroid was caused by autoimmunity.”

“What triggers receptor autoimmunization in DCM is unclear.”

“Thus, binding of a statin to the enzyme could create structural change that alters the enzyme's conformation or intracellular metabolism to promote autoimmunization.”

“The coincidence of highly prevalent, high-titer IFN autoantibodies in patients with thymic epithelial tumors or genetic defects in AIRE suggests parallel mechanisms of autoimmunization in the APECED thymus and thymomas.”
