Common variable immunodeficiency with autoantibodies to b- or t-cells - what does this mean
Common variable immunodeficiency with autoantibodies to b- or t-cells is a rare disorder in which the body produces autoantibodies that attack and destroy its own b- or t-cells, resulting in a weakened immune system and an increased susceptibility to infections.
What happens during the disease - common variable immunodeficiency with autoantibodies to b- or t-cells
Common variable immunodeficiency with autoantibodies to b- or t-cells is caused by an impaired ability to produce antibodies, resulting in a decreased ability to fight off infections. this is due to a defective immune response, caused by a mutation in the genes responsible for producing b- and t-cells, or autoantibodies that attack b- and t-cells. this causes an imbalance in the immune system, leading to an increased susceptibility to infections and other health problems.
