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 to infectious microorganisms is the immune response. Mucosal Immunology is the study of the immune system and its responses to invading pathogens which enter via the mucosal surfaces. The physiologic function of the mucosal immune system is to prevent infections and to eradicate established infections.
The following questions are addressed in this class:
1. What types of immune responses protect individuals from mucosal infections?
2. What are the important characteristics of mucosal immunity, and what mechanisms are responsible for these characteristics?
3. How are the cells and tissues of the immune system organized? |
