title: Lessons from autoimmunity.
abstract: Autoimmunity is a common occurrence as shown by the human potential to make autoantibodies. New syndromes resembling clinical autoimmune diseases and arising from presumed immunotoxic exposure are presented. Future experimentation should attempt to harness this autoimmune potential to create more effective anticancer vaccines.
