IMM299Y1 Credit course for supervised participation in faculty research project. See page 47 for details. IMM334Y1 The basic principles of immunology; tissues and cells of the immune system; cell biology of the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses; immunogenetics; immunoglobulin structure, function and biosynthesis; immunological techniques; immunopathology; infection and immunity; transplantation, autoimmunity and tumour immunology. IMM335Y1 The fundamental principles of immunology; tissues and cells of the immune system; humoral and cell-mediated immune responses; immunogenetics; immunoglobulin structure, function and biosynthesis; immunopathology; infection and immunity; transplantation, autoimmunity and tumour immunology. Intended for students specializing in immunology and related programs, and requiring a more intensive background in biochemistry and molecular biology than IMM334Y1. JBI428H1 Molecular mechanisms involved in innate and adaptive immunity including the structure and function of immunoglobulins, the complement system, antigen processing and presentation, and membrane signalling events. Emphasis is on experimental approaches and quantitative aspects. (Given by the Departments of Biochemistry and Immunology) IMM429H1 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. IMM430H1 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. IMM435H1 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. IMM450Y1 An opportunity for specialized research in Immunology under the supervision of a member of the Faculty. There are no Pre- or co-requisites, although preference is given to Immunology Specialist students. MIJ485H1 Analysis of infectious disease vaccines, and pathogens’ strategies to evade specific immune response, with an emphasis on molecular and immunological aspects. Special topics include: molecular basis of pathogenicity and immune-evasion strategies; vaccination strategies; adverse effects of vaccines (given jointly by the Departments of Medical Genetics & Microbiology and Immunology). |
