antitestkötdés
Antitestkötdés is a term that describes the phenomenon where antibodies, which are proteins produced by the immune system to neutralize foreign substances, inadvertently bind to and attack the body's own healthy tissues. This misdirected immune response is a hallmark of autoimmune diseases. Instead of targeting pathogens like viruses or bacteria, the body's antibodies mistakenly identify self-antigens, molecules normally present on the surface of cells, as foreign invaders.
The exact mechanisms triggering antitestkötdés are complex and not fully understood. However, genetic predisposition and environmental
When antibodies bind to self-antigens, they can initiate a cascade of inflammatory and destructive processes. This
