Objectives
Activity Objectives
- Describe the major immune cell types found in blood and tissue.
- Explain how the immune system promotes homeostasis, rather than just responds to infection with host defense.
- Consider the balance between physiologically beneficial immune responses versus immunopathology, fibrosis and malignancy.
- Explain indicators and physiological implications of acute inflammation.
- Identify two clinically/therapeutically relevant inflammatory cytokines.
- Discuss diagnostic and therapeutic applications of immunology in medicine.
- Interpret common laboratory values suggestive of ongoing inflammation (eg. CBC, ESR, CRP, ferritin).
