IMM429H1
Developmental Immunology        26L

Hematopoiesis, myelopoiesis, lymphopoiesis, a study of the development of cells involved in the immune system including their ontogeny, physical, molecular, and biochemical characteristics, regulation of differentiation and maturation, positive and negative selection of lymphocytes, DNA rearrangement.
Prerequisite: IMM334Y1/IMM335Y1

IMM430H1
The Immune Response        26L

A study of the cells involved in the immune response, the nature of cellular and molecular interactions that govern immunity and self-tolerance, the nature of the effector cells in immunity and genetic control of immune responses.
Prerequisite: IMM334Y1/IMM335Y1

IMM435H1
Practical Immunology        72P

Application of basic principles acquired from IMM334Y1/IMM335Y1; immunological procedures used in research and diagnostic laboratories; rudiments of etiology, pathogenesis, and laboratory diagnosis of diseases of immune system; principles of immunological diagnostic procedures in some infectious diseases; instruction through lectures, practical exercises, video tapes, student presentations.
