MICR 204 Basic Immunology (3)
Basic Immunology is the second semester of a highly recommended, two-semester sequence consisting of MICR 202 Introduction to Microbiology followed by MICR 204 Basic Immunology. The intent of this course is to cover the origin, formation, function and regulation of the immune response in humans and other mammals in more depth than was covered in MICRO 202 or BIOL 221. Additionally, selected bacterial, viral and fungal diseases are reviewed in the context of how our body defenses try to prevent infection and maintain homeostasis. The course materials include a textbook (Immunology by Goldsby, Kindt, Osborne and Kuby, 5th edition), videos, computer-based CD tutorials and assigned readings from scientific journals. Prerequisite: BIOL 220/221 or consent of instructor. (As needed)
