BMS 8812 Immunology
This course will cover fundamental topics in immunology. The course will begin by examining the cellular components of the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system, which will include a discussion of how these cellular subsets develop, become activated, and differentiate. It will continue by discussing how the immune response is carefully orchestrated to eliminate foreign pathogens without destroying healthy cells. It will also examine how the immune response can be manipulated to enhance protection against pathogens, prevent autoimmunity, and eliminate tumors.
