Step 1

Systemic lupus erythematosis  or lupus is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system of the body attacks the own body .

The immune system of the body recognises the cells of the body and those that are foreign .  The main component of this identification system is the histocompatibility complexes ( HLA ) , which are present on the cell membranes of the cells .

The immune cells don't react to the cells of body .

SLE is a chronic disease of autoimmune origin that can affect other parts of the body and the connective tissue as well.
