A. De Franco
Topics to be covered: hematopoiesis, structure and genetics of immunoglobulins, lymphocyte surface molecules, T cell receptors, signal transduction, antigen presentation, MHC restriction, tolerance, T cell effector mechanisms, lymphocynes, and autoimmunity.
208. Biology of Animal Virus Infection. (3 units) § Sp. Prerequisites: General knowledge of nucleic acid structure and chemistry. Lecture 3 hours.
D. Ganem
The nature of viruses: dynamics of virus-cell interaction with emphasis on animal virus systems, control of expression of virus-specific information in lytic and temperate infection, and role of viruses in malignant transformation of cells.
209. Special Topics in Immunology. (2 units) § Sp. Conference 2 hours.
Staff
Small group tutorial in which topics and correlative reading will be selected for discussion with individual faculty members.
211. Microbial Pathogenesis Journal Club. (1 units) § Fa, Wi, Sp. Prerequisites: None. Restrictions: None. Lecture 1 hours.
A. Sil
