X110 (3 semester units in Molecular and Cell Biology)

45 hours CE credit: BRN provider 00226

A requirement in the Clinical Laboratory Scientist Preparatory Program; an elective in the Certificate Program in the Essentials of Green Chemistry, in the Post-Baccalaureate Health Professions Program, and in the Professional Biomedical Sciences Program

The immune system plays the crucial role of battling infection and cancer in the body. As a defense system, it must recognize and distinguish between what is foreign and what is self. Examine the basic principles of immunology, and study the tissues and cells that make up the immune system. Understand the structure and function of immunoglobulins, and investigate the nature of their interactions with antigens. Learn to discuss biotherapeutics, cancer and AIDS from an informed standpoint.

Prerequisite: One year of college-level general biology for majors
