Module overview
This module covers the major topics in cellular and molecular immunology, including antigen recognition, antigen processing and presentation to B and T cells, the molecular events leading to the generation of antibody and T cell receptor diversity, antibody effector functions, the role of CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets and NK cells in immune responses, self-tolerance and autoimmunity, and the role of immunity in protection against pathogens and cancer.
In addition, this module aims to increase awareness that immunology, as well as being of intrinsic interest, has a broad impact on biology and medical sciences. We will also include a profile of the impact of research in BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 on understanding major diseases, including cancer, profiling the ‘BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 immunology footprint in global research’.
