This is an introductory undergraduate course which
surveys most areas of immunology. Immunology is the
study of how higher organisms deal with infectious
agents. The course is designed to provide a basic
understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the
development of immune response. Topics will include
molecular mechanisms of innate immunity, the
structure of antibodies and T cell receptors, antigen-
antibody interactions, the major histocompatibility
complex, generation of diversity, antigen presentation,
signaling through immune system receptors, the
molecular basis of immune attack, immunological
tolerance, and immune memory. There will be topics
from medical or bench-side immunology in last few
weeks, depends on the conditions and time availability.
