applied immunology

This document aims to provide an overview of the immune system’s response to different types of pathogens, with a focus on microbes and parasites. Microbes are microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, that can cause infections and diseases in humans. unraveling the complex strategies employed by our body's defense mechanisms. Delve into the specifics of how the immune system distinguishes and combats these invaders, from the molecular interactions to the orchestrated cel...

This insightful resource focuses on the intricacies of maternal and neonatal immunity, offering a student-friendly exploration of how a mother's defenses shield her developing baby. Unravel the fascinating transfer of antibodies during pregnancy and its impact on the neonatal immune system. This document provides a digestible yet comprehensive overview, making it an invaluable companion for students eager to grasp the dynamic world of immunity, particularly in the context of maternal and neonat...

Self-tolerance and immunoregulation: mechanisms of self-tolerance, mechanisms of autoimmunity and role of genetic factor e.g. MCH in autoimmunity. Transplantation: mechanisms of graft rejection, grafting privilege sites, organ and bone marrow transplant, Immunological diseases: autoimmunity, inflammation, principles of therapy for immune-mediated diseases: anti-inflammatory agents, antagonists against proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF and IL-1, immunosuppressive drugs e.g. cyclosporine A, V...
