Immunodeficiency and Immune Deficiency Diseases

by Peter Delves, PhD

Immunodeficiency refers to the lack of a sufficient immune response to pathogens, which leaves the body vulnerable to continued colonization. A lack of adequate immunity can be primary or secondary, being caused by inherited disorders or external factors, respectively.

In this course, the student will be introduced to primary and secondary immunodeficiencies and their pathophysiology.

For optimal comprehension, the student must have a preliminary understanding of molecular and cellular biology, emphasizing gene expression, protein synthesis, signal molecules, and cellular receptors.
