DESCRIPTION
Asthma, hay fever, Type 1 diabetes (IDDM) and rheumatoid arthritis are well-known examples of immune-mediated diseases in Western populations. We all are expected to experience allergies and autoimmune diseases… sooner or later, personally or in our direct environment. Epidemiology and socio-economic consequences of these immune-mediated diseases will be briefly discussed. The main goal of this course is to gain knowledge of the molecular mechanisms involved in the development and progression of allergies and autoimmune diseases. In addition, you will be introduced into the biology of organ transplantation which involves similar mechanisms.
