This course is designed to provide a foundation in the basic concepts of immunology and then illustrate the role of the immune system in clinical medicine. It commences with the important components (cells, tissues, antibodies, immunoglobulins, and cytokines) involved in regulation and host defense against infectious agents. Introductory lectures serve to describe and differentiate between innate mechanisms and adaptive immunity mediated by functional B and T lymphocytes and their products. B cell and T cell activation, regulation, and tolerance will be described. Cellular interactions between cells and the cytokines made by helper T cell subsets and other components of the immune system (B cells, CTL., NK cells, macrophages, eosinophils etc.) will be integrated.
