Mechanisms for the induction of autoimmunity by infectious agents
Open accessAbstract
Autoimmune diseasesActivation and clonal expansion of autoreactive lymphocytes is a critical step in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.In experimental models of autoimmunity, disease can be transferred by activated, but not resting, autoreactive T cells (1), indicating that activation of autoreactive T cells is required for the development of autoimmune diseases.Infectious agents have long been considered as possible culprits in the activation of autoreactive T cells.Mechanisms by which an infection can lead to an autoimmune process have been examined in experimental animal models, and these concepts as well as their relevance to human diseases will be discussed here.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
