N2 - Research in autoimmunity has tended to focus on lymphocytes and their products at the expense of other factors that also contribute to the development of disease. Here, Guido Kroemer and colleagues stress that aberrations in immunoendocrinological communication may also be involved in autoaggression. They propose that in the Obese strain of chickens with spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis, a defect in the regulation of corticosterone by immune signals can be implicated in immune hyperreactivity.
