Document Summary
Autoimmune diseases & immunodeficiencies series of reactions that happens once the immune complexes are deposited into the ct (skin) 3 general results: cell lysis (killing of the cell, area where the complexes are deposited, can be tagged for where the wbc should go & phagocytosis will occur in the area. Increase the inflammatory response leading to more cell death. Antibody will remain for future protection after the antigen has left the body. Production of antibodies (autoantibody) which attacks individual"s own tissue. Miss labeling, body tries to get rid of individual"s own cells. Occur when the immune system cannot distinguish between self & non-self antigens. Immune complex is something that happens when you have an antibody & antigen connected; can get deposited into the tissue & will be where the inflammatory process will occur. Lupus = wolf (characterizes the rash that develops on a person"s face)
