🛡️ Immunology: Syllabus & Course Map

Give a mechanistic account of how the human immune system distinguishes self from non-self and from altered self. The course follows the barriers and receptors that respond at once, the lymphocytes that are selected and then remember, the effector molecules they deploy, and the patterns that appear when recognition fails, over-reacts, or is aimed at a transplant or a tumour. It also fixes what the common assays report, so that a result can be read as evidence.

Core Learning Outcomes & Competencies

Upon mastery of this comprehensive syllabus, students and researchers are expected to:

✓ Compare innate and adaptive immunity on speed, specificity, and memory, and explain clonal selection together with the requirement for tolerance.

✓ Assign each major leucocyte its job, and place a naive B cell and a naive T cell in the correct compartment of a lymph node.

✓ Trace Toll-like receptor, inflammasome, and cGAS–STING recognition to an inflammatory or interferon outcome, and the three complement pathways to opsonisation or the membrane-attack complex.

✓ Describe the antibody isotypes, V(D)J recombination, somatic hypermutation, and class switching, and state where tolerance checkpoints act on a developing B cell.

✓ Contrast MHC class I and class II processing, explain positive and negative selection in the thymus, and list the three signals required to activate a naive T cell.

✓ Match the helper subsets to their signature cytokines and the responses they steer, and describe how a CD8 T cell kills a target.

✓ Classify hypersensitivity types I–IV, give the mechanism of one organ-specific and one systemic autoimmune disease, and link SCID, X-linked agammaglobulinaemia, chronic granulomatous disease, terminal complement deficiency, and HIV to the function that has failed.

✓ Explain direct and indirect allorecognition, the checkpoint idea, and what each major vaccine type shows the immune system, and interpret an ELISA, a western blot, a Coombs test, and a CD-marker panel.
