IMMUNOL 201. Advanced Immunology I

(Same as MI 211.) For graduate and medical students and advanced undergraduates. Molecules and cells of the innate and adaptive immune systems; genetics, structure, and function of immune molecules; lymphocyte differentiation and activation; regulation of immune responses; autoimmunity and other problems in immune system dysfunction. Prerequisites: undergraduate course in Immunology and familiarity with experimental approaches in biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology.

3 units, Win (Chien, Y)

IMMUNOL 202. Advanced Immunology II

(Same as MCP 202.) Readings of immunological literature. Classic problems and emerging areas based on primary literature. Student and faculty presentations. Prerequisite: IMMUNOL 201.

3 units, Spr (Garcia, K)

IMMUNOL 203. Advanced Immunology III
