Preface Natural antibodies, belonging to isotypes IgM, IgG, and IgA, were discovered nearly half a century ago. Natural antibodies are those that are detected in the serum of healthy organisms in the absence of pathology or intentional immunization. Most natural antibodies bind to one or more autoantigens and are called as natural autoantibodies. The importance of natural autoantibodies in immune regulation and in therapeutic application is now well established. The role of natural antibodies in antigen presentation, pathogen elimination, cell survival and homeostasis, inflammation, cancer, and autoimmunity is exhaustively documented. While the basic properties
