Please choose the statement that best describes the pathology of most autoimmune diseases. Multiple Choice Autoimmune diseases are caused by overproduction of IgE and the degranulation of mast cells and basophils in response to autoantigens. Autoimmune diseases are the result of the destruction of T cells, which impairs cell-mediated responses. Autoimmune diseases result from autoantibodies that either bring about cytotoxic responses or form immune complexes that provoke inflammation. Autoimmune diseases are equally distributed among males and females and various age groups.
