IHS 512S Principles of Immunology 3.0 Credits
This didactic course will acquaint you with fundamental concepts of the human immune system. First, we will introduce general features, such as innate and acquired immunity, and key players of the immune system (cellular and soluble). We will then study how these components interact to mount an immune response to various types of pathogens and illustrate mechanisms how this response is regulated. We will also discuss failures of these mechanisms, for example in immunodeficiency, hypersensitivity, cancer, and autoimmune disease. Further included is an overview of immune prophylaxis, COVID-19, and experimental systems and methods used to study immunology.
