Catalog description

This course is the second semester of a new two-semester sequence that begins with PATH 465 . We will focus upon applied immunology concepts and topics, while moving into how these areas of study coalesce in health and disease. The course will consist of formal lectures derived primarily on the textbook Janeway's Immunobiology (10th Edition), primary research literature, and presentations by clinicians responsible for treating the diseases discussed in class.
