Units: 3

Study of the mammalian immune system at the molecular and cellular level. Mechanisms of immunology, such as generation of unique receptor specificities, transduction of signals through T and B cell receptors, programmed cell death and lymphocyte selection, regulation of responses by growth factors and cytokines, and cell-cell interactions, are explored. The course perspectives includes historical and technological aspects of modern immunobiology.

Prerequisite(s): BIOL 351 or BIOT 355 , or enrollment in the Biological Sciences graduate program.
