This course is designed  to provide  an overview of the immune system as intended to introduce you to the complex yet fascinating subject of immunology The cell is a fascinating  complex  and dynamic unit that forms the fundamental basis of unicellular and multicellular forms of life
Next  we will learn about cytokines  the soluble mediators that regulate immune responses and play a significant role in hematopoiesis We will dissect these cellular processes throughout the semester  and delve deep into how the cell performs all of its functions and interacts with the environment as well as with other cells
We will next focus on COVID    and scientifically understand the degree of virulence Laboratory fee
BIO     C Genetics   credits Experimental genetics  discussing in depth how alleles and genes interact with each other and how molecular lesions correlate with allelic behaviors We are going to learn a detailed account of the workings of the immune system beginning with its cellular components  followed by a description of the structure of the reactants and an understanding of the formation and activation of the cellular and molecular components of the immune apparatus required to generate a response with reference to innate and acquired immunity
Discussions of experimental sampling and statistical analysis We would then learn in great detail about HIV infection  and the development of full blown AIDS and evaluate the clinical consequences of resistance development with an emphasis to epidemiology
Lecture      minutes  lab      minutes Finally  we will try the understand the mechanism involved in allergic reaction and organ transplantation  and focus on the spectrum of microorganisms that challenge the immune system and how immune responses are mounted in a vigilant  orchestrated fashion to protect the host from infectious diseases with a discussion of immune prophylaxis use of vaccines that protect us from a variety of pathogenic organisms Lecture    hours  lab    hours
