Description
The immune system is formed by a network of distinct cell types that collaborate with the major purpose of protecting our bodies from infectious pathogens such as bacterium and viruses. This system begins to develop during fetal gestation and is continuously remodeled, or edited, over our lifespan. A dysfunctional immune system not only increases our susceptibility to infections, but also contributes to the development of autoimmune diseases and cancer. This course will focus on providing a fundamental understanding of: 1) what types of immune cells exist, 2) where these cells come from, 3) what regulates immune cells and 4) ultimately how these cells function to keep us healthy.
Prerequisite(s): BMSC 210.
Note: Students with credit for MCIM 321, MCIM 421, MCIM 821, or BMIS 321 may not take this course for credit.
