First Semester. A comprehensive introduction to our current understanding of the immune system, including innate, humoral, and cell-mediated components. Emphasis is placed on the molecular and cellular events underlying immunity. Lectures, discussion, and problem sets present the important experimental techniques currently used by immunologists. Discussion of current applications (e.g. vaccination) and challenges (e.g. autoimmune disease) illustrate the link between basic research and clinical immunology and reveal social and political aspects of biomedical research.
