An overview of the structure and function of the immune system at the cellular and molecular levels. Topics include: cells of the immune system and their interactions; innate immunity and inflammation; antibody structure, function and genetics; T-cells and cell-mediated immunity; MHC (major histocompatibility complex) and antigen presentation; regulation of the immune response; inappropriate immune responses (hypersensitivity and autoimmunity) and immunodeficiency syndromes. Prerequisites: BIOL 2131 with a score of C or better. A Health Care Diploma with a solid understanding of Pathophysiology is highly recommended. Note: Students cannot get credit for more than one of BIOL 3200, BIOL 3201.
