Lymphocytes may produce antibodies against host tissues under several situations and could damage host tissues and cause diseases. The similarity between tissue and microorganism antigens as well as minor change in host antigens are suggestive causes. Neutrophils play an important role in the development of several inflammatory disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease. They invade host tissues and oxygen radicals produced cause some damage on them. In several diseases, apheresis therapies such as plasmapheresis to reduce or eliminate harmful antibodies and cytapheresis to reduce neutrophils would be one therapeutic choice in addition to immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory medicine.
