The immune system is the body’s defense system against infection and other diseases. In the case of autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakenly identifies part of its own body as an invader and produces antibodies to attack its tissues and cells. In many cases, it is not known what causes the immune system to initiate this autoimmune response.
Examples of autoimmune diseases argenx is researching are myasthenia gravis, immune thrombocytopenia, chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy and pemphigus vulgaris.
In each of these diseases, a particular type of antibody called IgG (immunoglobulin G) are often the cause of the disease.
