This book offers information about immunology, a field of research in the biological sciences that focuses on the physiology of the immune system in both healthy and pathological conditions. We can see that autoimmunity is not necessarily associated with pathology because of certain elements of it. Autoimmune reactions, for instance, are useful in removing old, extra, or undesirable tissues from the body. Moreover, autoimmunity develops upon exposure to a non-self antigen that shares structural similarities with the self, aided by chemicals that stimulate the immune system, such as cytokines. As a result, there is a slight distinction between auto-immunity and immunity. Researchers are still interested in learning how pathologic autoimmunity differs from normal immunity. Gaining knowledge of the immunological system's physiology can help answer these kinds of issues.
