      A considerable proportion of the thyroid diseases is due to aberrant immune reactions toward thyroid antigens. Autoreactivity is considered to be a normal process controlled by several suppressor mechanisms. Malfunction of these suppressor mechanisms may result in autoimmune disease. Mechanisms of self-tolerance, defects in autoimmune disease, thyroid autoantibodies, thyroid autoreactive T cells, several thyroid autoimmune diseases, and the role of iodine in thyroid autoimmune reactivity are addressed.
