The phrase "autoimmune reactivity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in medical or scientific contexts to describe the immune system's response to the body's own tissues, which is characteristic of autoimmune diseases.
Example: "The study focused on the mechanisms of autoimmune reactivity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis."
Alternatives: "autoimmune response" or "immune system reactivity".
We also propose that the primary abnormality in lupus occurs in type I cells, which develop a lower threshold for responding to self CpG-DNA (or self-RNP), ultimately leading to progression from low-specificity autoimmune reactivity to high-specificity pathogenic autoimmunity, or disease.
However, some concern has arisen regarding its potential to elicit pathogenic autoimmune reactivity.
However, a potential disadvantage of T-DAK cell immunotherapy includes autoimmune reactivity to normal tissue antigens as a result of the processing and presentation of housekeeping or lineage-associated epitopes by autologous DCs.
It seems therefore that GGT induces in vivo a shift towards Th2 lymphocytes which may be one of the mechanisms of down-regulation of the autoimmune reactivity in EAT.
The identification of novel anti-neuronal antibodies primarily directed against the nuclei of cerebral and cerebellar Purkinje cells in the sera and CSF of both HaNDL patients supports the presence of an immune response against CNS neurons and implies an abnormal humoral autoimmune reactivity in the pathogenesis of HaNDL.
0.8, indicating that the autoimmune reactivity towards α-synuclein has a significant diagnostic value.
This phenomenon might be explained by the stronger immune and autoimmune reactivities observed in women compared to men, linked to the wide repertoire of immune-related genes on the X chromosome [ 26].
Deleterious autoimmune cross-reactivity can occur following infection, a response that has previously been described as molecular mimicry.
When we tested a series of anti-La positive sera (n = 25) of autoimmune patients for reactivity to the 7B6 peptide epitope sequence representing the l-Tag none of the tested anti-La positive autoimmune patient sera reacted with the 7B6 peptide epitope (data not shown).
We tested HLA-DR1 and HLA-DR4 molecules since many autoimmune diseases with self reactivity to extracellular matrix proteins are HLA-DR1 or HLA-DR4 associated [22] [23].
The reactivity of autoimmune sera with these 45 peptides has been described previously [ 16, 17, 19].
