Introduction to the mammalian immune system with emphasis on host-pathogen interaction. Control and specificity of the adaptive immune system are illustrated by studying the structure and function of antibodies and T cell receptors, development of immune cells, cytokines and chemokines, cell adhesion molecules, response to immunization, allergy, autoimmunity, graft rejection and immunity to tumors. Highly recommend completion of BIOL 381 or BIOL 382 prior to course registration.
