Immune Responses

• Production and function of granulocytes, natural killer cells, and macrophages
• Production and function of T lymphocytes, T-lymphocyte receptors
• Production and function of
  
  B lymphocytes and plasma cells; immunoglobulin and antibodies: structure and biologic properties
• Antigenicity and immunogenicity; antigen presentation; cell activation and regulation; tolerance and clonal deletion
• Immunologic mediators: chemistry, function, molecular biology, classic and alternative complement pathways, cytokines, chemokines
• Immunogenetics; MHC structure and function, class I, II molecules; erythrocyte antigens; transplantation Immunizations: vaccines, protective
  immunity
• Immunologic principles underlying diagnostic laboratory tests (eg, ELISA, complement fixation, RIA, agglutination)
• Innate immunity
