IMMUNOLOGY
   2010/2011, Semester 1
   Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (Microbiology & Immunology)
Modular Credits: 4
  Tags: --

Learning Outcomes

TopThis course provides the central concepts of immunology and the foundation for understanding how immunity functions. The subjects of innate immunity and haematopoiesis introduce the original and role of different cell types in immunity. The mechanics of how the body protects itself from disease are explored in relation to T and B cell biology, antibody-antigen interaction, major histocompatibility complex and antigen presentation. Other topics include hypersensitivity, immunodeficiencies, immune tolerance, autoimmunity, resistance and immunization to infectious diseases.
