  • Autoallergen infectious – the acquired autoallergen which was formed under the influence of a contagium;
  • Autoallergen complex – infectious autoallergen; components of a contagium or its toxin, and also components of the damaged fabric are its part;
  • Autoallergen noninfectious acquired – is formed under the influence of any factors of the noninfectious nature, for example, at burns, a hypoxia, use of medicines;
  • The autoallergen acquired (a synonym: autoallergen secondary) – is formed at fabric damages;
  • Autoallergen intermediate (synonym: autoallergen virusindutsirovanny) – infectious autoallergen, is formed in organism cells under the influence of the virus which is a contagium; on the antigenic properties differs both from cells, and from a virus.
