 Aims
To cover some major new developments in immunology through the analysis of experimental results.
Main themes
Illustrate some aspects of modern immunology through experimental observation and analysis. For each topic: a brief reminder of basic concepts followed by the analysis of important experiments and the description of the resulting new concepts
Content and teaching methods
HLA molecules: structure, serological and molecular typing, transplantation.
Antigen processing for HLA class I and class II molecules.
Monoclonal antibodies, principles, humanization, examples of new drugs.
Innate immunity: NK cells, inhibitory receptors, viral escape mechanisms.
Toll-like receptors and ligands.
Regulatory or suppressor T cells.
Cytokines and their receptors, signal transduction mechanisms.
Anti-viral immunity and viral escape mechanisms.
Anti-tumor immunity and cancer vaccines.
Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)
