BIO 411 Immunology

This course examines the components of the innate and adaptive immune systems. The students will learn how the body identifies foreign invaders and responds to rid itself of infection. Topics include: the production of B-and T-cell receptors for antigen recognition, the maturation and differentiation of leukocytes, and the cell-cell signaling that occurs in a coordinated immune response. The emphasis will be on human health with special consideration given to the consequences of failures of the immune system.
