Course contents

This course aims to provide a understanding of the components and principal workings of the vertebrate immune system. The main focus will be on how our immune system protects the body from microorganisms like virus, bacteria, fungi and parasites. We will also examine how immune responses are initiated and terminated, how the immune system "remembers" a pathogenic intruder such that it can respond stronger at subsequent infections (the basis for vaccination), and how erroneous immune responses can result in serious disease. We will also discuss the basis for the immune system to recognize virtually any structure it is exposed to and why the immune system will vigorously reject transplanted foreign tissues.
