Where BIOL-4931 counts

Counts toward 3 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • NSCI 3-YEAR BSc IN NEUROSCIENCE
  • NSCI 4-YEAR BSc IN NEUROSCIENCE
  • NSCI HONOURS BSc IN NEUROSCIENCE

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

Immunology is the study of the defence system which the body has evolved to protect itself from external threats such as viruses and internal threats such as tumour cells. Topics to be covered include non-specific immunity, acquired immunity, the structure, function and genetics of antibodies, antigen-antibody interactions, cells and organs of the immune system, autoimmunity, MHC and T-cell receptors, cytokine signalling and applications of immunology.

Requisite courses
