Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue, failing to recognize them as self-antigens. This results in the destruction of the body's own tissues and organs. Delayed hypersensitivity and immediate hypersensitivity refer to different types of allergic reactions, while immune-complex diseases involve the formation of antigen-antibody complexes that can damage tissues. Inflammation is a general response of the body to injury or infection.
