Figure 1 The current model of the pathogenesis of SLE
Figure 1 | The current model of the pathogenesis of SLE. The progression of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can be divided into discrete stages. Environmental and genetic factors contribute to the development of disease. Triggers such as infection can elicit autoimmunity, but the elements that drive a sustained loss of tolerance and spreading of autoimmunity are poorly understood. Epigenetic changes, immune-complex deposition and autoantibody-mediated tissue damage can drive chronic inflammation and irreversible damage in end organs. IFN, interferon. Tsokos, G. C. et al.
