BIO 450 Immunology
Building upon a previously acquired knowledge of the cells and organ systems, Immunology focuses on how the human immune system functions at the molecular and cellular levels. An emphasis is placed on understanding how innate and adaptive immunity work together to protect us from infectious agents and diseases, and what occurs when the immune system malfunctions. The characteristics of immunizations, immune system deficiencies, AIDS, autoimmunity, and cancer are explored. In addition, the development and use of therapeutic agents in treating immune system based diseases is examined.
