Full Description
This exam focuses on the host immune response to infectious agents, emphasizing the interactions between pathogens and the immune system. Core principles related to innate and adaptive immunity will be evaluated.
A thorough understanding of host-pathogen interactions is fundamental for developing vaccines and therapeutic interventions against infectious diseases. Insights into immune mechanisms can influence clinical outcomes significantly.
Candidates will be expected to articulate their understanding of the immune response, detailing the roles of various components in combating infection and the strategies pathogens use to evade immune detection.
Students should prepare to discuss specific immune responses relevant to distinct classes of pathogens to demonstrate their knowledge effectively.
Sample Questions
- How does the innate immune system respond to bacterial infections?
- What role do antibodies play in the adaptive immune response to viruses?
