COURSE OBJECTIVES

The overall objective of this course is to give the advanced biology students experience with addressing immunological questions through experimentation. A representative experiment will be the analysis of different lymphocyte subsets in distinct lymphoid tissues of the mouse. Specific techniques will analyze RNA and protein expression in different immune cell populations and explore the functions of these unique cells
