Key words

Innate Immunity, Adaptive Immunity, Antigen-antibodies, TLR, BCR, TCR, Hypersensitivity, Cell Cooperation

Objectives

To acquire the essential knowledge in Immunology to be able to understand the molecular, cellular, physiological mechanisms involved in cellular and humoral responses in immunology (response to infection, anti-tumor response, inflammation, etc.). One aspect more particularly treated will be that of host-pathogen interactions and their importance in physiopathological situations drawn from the clinic.
