An autoimmune disease is a condition in which the White Blood Cells of the immune system attack cells that are part of the organism.  This occurs because the cells if the immune system: a)  fail to respond to proteins (antigens) made by the cells and fail to react. b) recognize the proteins in the cell membrane and do not react to these proteins. c) miss identify a molecule that is part of the cell as a foreign protein (antigen) and trigger an immune response (antibodies). D) none of these are correct.
