Adaptive Immune System

by Peter Delves, PhD

The adaptive immune response is characterized by the onset of immunity-related reactions triggered by a specific antigen, as well as the continuous development of immunological “memory” to ensure that future encounters are resolved in a more efficient fashion. Although it’s differentiated from the innate immune response by these factors, both work in very close association.

In this course, the student will be introduced to the processes of lymphocyte development, activation, homing and recirculation, and antigen processing and presentation.

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.

Very clear explanation, and fun analogies used, sometimes!
By Cb Y. on 13. March 2024 for Adaptive Immune System

I loved Dr Delves lectures! I find them incredibly easy to follow, very clear… he uses his voice to empathize important points, uses fun analogies, sometimes, to explain concepts. What I personally “disliked” is that since I am using his lectures to study for Step 1, it makes me wonder if I really need to know all the details presented in his lectures. It is very interesting and all, but I am pressed for time! I would looove a final summary saying, “this is what you HAVE to know for your exam”. I think doing the quiz questions have helped me extract the most important points in some of the lectures that were so full of “letters and numbers”. But overall, his lectures have made immunology so much more friendly and even amusing!

 
Super helpful

In my university class I wasn't understand this, but the video class with dr. Peter is so clear for me, thanks. Sorry for my english

 
Thank you
