2. Intro-BIOL318 Immunology Course Objectives: Upon completion of this course students will be expected to: Describe the various cells and organs of the immune system, including the role of each during the immune response. Compare and contrast innate and acquired immunity, including their specific components and effector mechanisms. Describe antigens and antibodies and their interactions. Discuss the immune response to specific pathogens.

4. Historical Perspective  Immunity - state of protection from an infectious disease.  430 BC – Greek historian Thucydides - Athenian plague  15 th century – Chinese attempts to induce immunity  1718 – Mary Wortley Montagu – innoculated her children  1798 – Edward Jenner – milkmaids and cowpox/smallpox

5. Historical Perspective  early 1880’s – Cholera and chickens Attenuation hypothesis  1881 – Testing the hypothesis with anthrax and sheep  1885 – Rabies vaccine Louis Pasteur

6. Historical Perspective  1890 - Behring and Kitasato – link serum to immunity  1883 – Metchnikoff – links cells (phagocytes) to immunity  early 1900’s – many functions of immune serum  1930’s – Kabat - immunoglobulin/antibodies  1950’s – Glick – two types of lymphocytes

7. Historical Perspective  1900 – Paul Ehrlich – Selective theory  1950’s – Jerne, Talmadge and Burnet – clonal selection theory

8. Historical Perspective

9. Infection and Immunity  pathogens – organisms causing disease  pathogenesis – the means by which disease-causing organisms attach a host.
