Textbook: ImmunoBiology, by Kenneth Murphy (Janeway’s ImmunoBiology), Garland Science; 8th
Edition (July 25, 2011)
This course is a half-year course which introduces the basic principles of modern immunobiology. It will
focus on the generation, development and regulation of the immune system and its function in human
epidemics, immunological diseases, inflammation and tumor. The aim of this course is not only to
elucidate these key principles of immunology, but also to discuss its history of discovery and some
major experimental techniques. The course will also introduce the close relationship of immunology to
the other sub disciplines of life science and research methods. This course is not only suitable for the
students who majors in life science or medical science, but is also good for the students who major in
biomedical engineering who want to pick up some basic knowledge in immunology.
Exams: There're two exams for this course. Each one will count for 50% of the final score.
