In addition to a general introduction to autoimmune mechanisms and clinical expression of autoimmune diseases, a discussion of mechanisms of chemical-associated autoimmune responses precedes information on a range of chemical and other agents. Animal models and human testing for autoimmune disease and the application of information in risk assessment are presented.
