Autoimmunity is the failure of an organism in recognizing its own constituent parts as self, which allows an immune response against its own cells and tissues. Any disease that results from such an aberrant immune response is termed an autoimmune disease. Autoimmunity is often caused by a lack of germ development of a target body and as such the immune response acts against its own cells and tissues. Prominent examples includeCoeliac diseasediabetes mellitus type 1 (IDDM), Sarcoidosissystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren's syndrome
