Self-antigens, which are molecules produced by the body that are recognized as "self" by the immune system, should not elicit an immune response. This includes proteins and other components of your own cells and tissues. The immune system is typically trained to distinguish between self and non-self to prevent autoimmune reactions, where the body mistakenly attacks its own tissues. However, under certain conditions, such as in autoimmune diseases, self-antigens can trigger an inappropriate immune response.
