Immunology: Adaptive Immune System

Software > Computer Software > Educational Software Imperial College London

Course Overview

What You'll Learn

  • In this course, you will learn about the role of immune responses of the adaptive (acquired) immune system which provides specialised immunity against pathogens.
  • Guided by our researchers in the Department of Immunity and Inflammation, we will take a closer look at the lymphocyte subsets and mechanisms involved in this delayed finely tuned response occurring days to weeks after the initial exposure to microbial antigens.
  • We will also focus on the versatile cellular components which can distinguish between self- and nonself antigens and on how age affects the immune responses.
