How ELISA Kits Aid in Autoimmune Diseases Research?
Our body’s immune system acts as a defence system that helps protect us against infections and harmful invaders, like viruses, pathogens, bacteria, etc. When it detects a foreign substance, it produces antibodies to remove and neutralize it. It plays a critical role in keeping us healthy.
However, in the case of autoimmune diseases, this defense mechanism malfunctions. Instead of only attacking harmful invaders, the immune system mistakenly targets the body’s own healthy cells and tissues.
Instead of distinguishing between “self” and “non-self,” the immune system produces autoantibodies that target the body’s own tissues. This leads to inflammation, tissue damage, and impaired function of affected organs.
While the exact cause of autoimmune disease is unknown, genetics, exposure t...
