Abstract

Both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system are involved in the development of autoimmune diseases. The main mechanism of disease is due to adaptive immune cells that are active against self-antigens. These cells can cause major damage to body tissues. Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are an important type of innate immune cell, whose role has been highlighted in recent years. ILCs are responsible for some of the inflammation in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. In this review, we discuss the role of ILCs in the immune response, as well as their involvement in various autoimmune diseases. © 2020, JLE/Springer.
