The recent application of immunoglobulin (I@ gene combinatorial librar!! technology has led to a logarithmic increase in information concerning human, disease-associated, organ-specific autoantibodies of the 1gG class. As reviewed here by Basil Rapoport, Stefano Portolano and Sandra McLachlan, the molecular cloning, analysis and expression of the genes for increasing numbers of these human, monoclonal autoantibodies is providing new insight into the genetic background and epitopic repertoires of such molecules.Human autoimmune disease may be organ specific ot systemic. The most common organ-specific autoimmune diseases in humans affect the thyroid gland and the pancreatic P-cell. The prototypes of systemic autoimmunity are the connective tissue disorders, lupus erythematosus, scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis. A second classification of human autoimmunity relates to whether the pathogenesis of the disease is considered to involve primarily a humoral or a cellmediated effector mechanism. The humoral component predominates in autoimmune responses against, for example, the skeletal muscle endplate in myasthenia gravis (MG) and the thyroid in Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. By contrast, autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis are considered to be mediated primarily by the cellular immune response. Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is included in this cell-mediated category, although recent data suggest that the humoral response may be more important than previously considered’. Autoantibody generation, at least of the IgG class, is dependent on T cells. Nevertheless, dissecting out the components of the humoral autoimmune response is an essential prerequisite for determining the role of antigen-specific(not simply tissue-infiltrating) T cells involved in specific autoantibody generation.
