Autoimmune diseases include those forms of pathology in which autoreactive immunoglobulins have a destructive effect on the body. The formula for immunity looks like this: immunity = antigen recognition + antigen destruction (lymphocytes, leukocytes, complement). The central organs of immunogenesis are the bone marrow and thymus. The peripheral ones include the spleen, lymph nodes, lymphopharyngeal ring, lymphocytic accumulations of the gastrointestinal tract, bronchi and genitourinary system. The bone marrow serves as both a central
and a peripheral organ.
