Conditional autoimmunity mediated by human natural anti‐FcεRIα autoantibodies?
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Natural antibodies provide an early defense mechanism against pathogens, show a frequent self-reactivity, and are present throughout life. Two questions concern the physiological control of self-reactivity and the pathogenetic link to autoimmune disease.
