# data[].attributes.body
The immune system produces antibodies that attack bacteria and viruses. When you have rheumatoid arthritis, these antibodies mistakenly attack the lining (tissue) of the joints, causing a thin layer of cells, called synovium, to cover the joints, making them sore and inflamed, and damage any nearby bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.
