Syfte

Immunological processes are important components of heath and disease. Products of immunological processes are often used for medical analysis. A fundamental understanding of such processes is therefore of critical importance for the development and application of new approaches in this field. In this course, immunological processes in eukaryotic organisms are studied and discussed to create a basis for research activities around such processes.
