The content comprises two modules. In the first module, the immune response to disease, processes underlying immunity and response to infection as well as the disease processes associated with loss of tolerance to non-infectious or self-antigens, and loss of regulation will be considered. The second module explores how molecular events shape the immune response and immunotherapy. We will consider the molecular mechanisms that allow the immune system to respond to the many challenges in faces. This includes drawing our functional insights from recent studies that identity novel signalling pathways and molecular interactions affecting disease susceptibility and resistance. It also covers recent progress on how early interactions with infection can shape and tailor immune responses.
