There will be two meetings per week: on Monday the "Journal Club" and on Friday two presentations of actual results from current research projects.

Immunologie I ist der erste Teil eines einjährigen Kurses.Ziel: Die Vielfalt der Abwehrmechanismen unseres Immunsystems, sowohl molekular und zellulär, als auch im intakten Organismus zu verstehen.Inhalt:A) Das AbwehrsystemB) AntikörperC) Immunoglobulin-Gen-SuperfamilieD) MHCE) AntigenpräsentationLehrmittel: Janis Kuby et al. Immunology, 5th Edition, W.H. Freeman and Co.

Introduction into structural and functional aspects of the immune system.Basic knowledge of the mechanisms and the regulation of an immune response.

The aim of lecture is to understand:> how immune system recognizes different pathogens and how it successfully selects appropriate defense stratgey> why defense mechanism against microorganism often yields into symptoms of disease (fever, inflammation, autoimmunity)> how the cells of the immune system migrate into different tissues> immune system in intestine and anti tumor response

Das 10- bis 12-wöchige Vollpraktikum wird unter der Anleitung eines Doktorierenden oder eines "postdoctoral fellow" im Rahmen eines laufenden immunologischen Forschungsprojektes durchgeführt.
