Abstract
Autoimmune diseases are thought to be initiated by exposures to foreign antigens that cross-react with endogenous molecules. Analyses of peripheral blood lymphocytes and serum suggested that mutations in autoimmune antigen targets sparked cellular immunity and cross-reactive humoral immune responses. Acquired immunity to autoimmune antigens can help control naturally occurring cancers.
