Autoimmune disease happens when the body’s natural defense system (i.e. the immune system) can’t tell the difference between self and nonself, causing the body to mistakenly attack normal cells.

There are more than 100 different types of autoimmune diseases that inflict a wide range of body parts.

GemPharmatech has successfully generated a variety of mouse models to simulate autoimmune disease phenotypes, which can be used to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic drugs.
