The content of the Immunology course will be drawn most heavily from the information in the figures and tables in the following list. The overview figures, indicated by the bold font, are to be considered particularly important because they summarize the essential information and will be used as points from which to initiate discussion of more detailed and specific content. After this information is presented in lecture, it will be applied to analysis of the appropriate Clinical Focus section from those provided in the text and also listed below.
