| (3 cr.) This Immunology course involves topics related to
the immune system, particularly the human immune
system. Students examine and discuss the current
understanding of the immune response. The immune
system is designed to differentiate self and
non-self and does so via both the innate and the
adaptive immune systems. The two arms of the
adaptive immune system, humoral immunity and
cellular immunity, are discussed in detail. A
considerable effort is spent on
immunodeficiencies, immunotherapies and
immunopathologies. Students may receive credit for
BMS 375 or HSC 375, but not both.
Prerequisite: BMS 213, BMS 370 or BIO 102; Every Year, Spring |
