Class Objectives
/Class Outline Immunity is defined as resistance to disease, specifically infectious or inflammatory disease. The collection of molecules, cells, and tissues that mediate resistance to infections is called the immune system, and the coordinated reaction of these molecules and cells is the immune response. Immunology is the study of the immune system and its responses to invading pathogens which enter our body via the mucosal and skin surfaces. The physiologic function of the immune system is usually to prevent infections and to eradicate established infections.

The following questions are addressed in this class:
• What types of immune responses protect individuals from infections?
• What are the important characteristics of mucosal as well as systemic immunity, and what mechanisms are responsible for these characteristics?
• How are the cells and tissues of the immune system organized to find microbes and respond to them in ways that lead to their elimination?

Class Schedule 1, Basic concept of immunity: Takahashi (face to face)
2, The immune system: Takahashi (face to face)
3, Complement, NK cell, Cytokine: Takahashi (face to face)
4, Antigen presentation: Takahashi (face to face)
5, Thymus and T cell development: Tobiume (face to face)
6, Leukocyte trafficking: Shimaoka (on-demand movie)
7, Induction of T cell mediated adaptive immunity: Takahashi (face to face)
8, Effector phase of T cell mediated adaptive immunity: Takahashi (face to face)
9, B cell mediated adaptive immunity: Takahashi (face to face)
10, The mucosal immune system: Takahashi (face to face)
11, Immunological tolerance and autoimmunity: Tobiume (face to face)
12, Allergy: Tobiume (face to face)
13, Vaccine: Kunisawa (on-demand movie)
14, Examination of immunology: Takahashi

Paper examination will be scheduled on January 30th, 2025.
