Advanced molecular immunology and cell biology

A summary made with the information from all the lectures on Advanced molecular immunology and cell biology. Includes images from the slides used in the lectures.

This document contains extensive lecture notes of the course Advanced Molecular Immunology and Cell Biology. It is fully written in English and contain images from the slides as well. This really helped me to prepare for the exam, resulting in a 9!

Information on immune cells in the CNS, multiple sclerosis as an example, immune cell filtration through the blood-brain barrier, and immunotherapy in multiple sclerosis.

Information on recognition, formation of vaccines, zwitterionic polysaccharides presentation, and lipid recognition.

Information on etiology, and how to identify and classify them. Severe combined immunodeficiencies (SCID), atypical leaky SCID, combined immunodeficiencies diagnosis and treatment of SCID. Antibody immunodeficiencies.

The role of metabolism in the immune response.

Information on the basis of antibodies, function, role in vaccination and development of auto-antibodies. Antibodies as experimental tools, clinical drugs and engineering.

T cell priming, techniques to measure T cell responses, and COVID-19 and T cells.

Lecture on dendritic cells, information on the role in the activation of the immune system, pattern recognition receptors and tailored immunity, and use in therapeutics and vaccines.

Contains information and images on cells of the immune system, activation, initiation of the immune response, B and T cells, the complement system, MHC receptors, antibody functions, and information on the mucosal immune system (including microbiome).
