| Content | The main goal of this lecture is for students to acquire a deeper understanding of the immune system in relation to infection. We expect that participants have a basic knowledge of immunology from their undergraduate studies. We will use the following textbook for teaching: Immunobiology, 9th edition (www.garlandscience.com/product/isbn /9780815345053) by KM Murphy et al. During the lecture we will review selected chapters of the latest edition of the textbook. |
