The Program

Prof. M. Capri's Topics

  • Introduction to huma IS
  • Organs, Tissues and Cells
  • Leucocytes circulation and diapedesis
  • Natural Immunity: anti-microbials peptides, PRRs
  • Natural Immunity: monocytes/macrophages, neutrophils, phagocytosis and cytokines Le molecole MHC
  • Natural Immunity: NKs
  • TCR and Ag processing and presentation through DCs (APCs)

Prof. S. Salvioli's Topics

  • Antibodies, Antigens. BCR
  • T and B activation. Germinal center reaction
  • All T lymphocyte subpopulations
  • The complement system
  • Comprehensive overview of IS against bacteria, fungi, viruses and, metazoi. Vaccines/vaccinations.
  • Tolerance to self-molecules: mechanisms
  • Immunology of Transplants
  • Immunopathology: Hypersensitivity (I)
  • Hypersensitivity II-IV and autoimmune disease
  • Primary Immunodeficiency
  • Secondary Immunodeficiency (HIV)
  • IS and cancer

Questions and Knowledge

Basic mechanisms of inflammatory process How does Natural IS work ? Which are the cells? How does Natural IS activate itself? What are the molecular mechanisms of regulation? How does Natural IS «see» the pathogens? How does Specific IS work ? Which are the cells? How does Specific IS activate itself? What are the molecular mechanisms of regulation? How does Specific IS «see» the pathogens? A bridge between Natural and Specific IS Overview on IS function and translational application How does IS react against non-self molecules in transplantation? Immunopathology/Immunotherapy

Assessment Methods

  • Student learning will be valutated at the end of the Integrated Course "Basic Mechanisms of Diseases" by an oral exam. Students may decide to take Immunology first and then, in a second session, to take General Pathology, General Physiopathology and General Pathology Laboratory or to take the exam completely including Immunology in the same day (date).
  • Seven exam dates are foreseen during the academic year. A passing grade in each question (i.e. mark above or equal to 18/30) is required to obtain the final assessment. A mark of 30 with laude will be considered 31 for the weighted mean
  • The final mark will be calculated as the weighted mean (based on CFUs) of the four marks.
  • Marks below 18 (failing grades) will not be recorded. Marks equal to 30 in all the Disciplines will be awarded with a 30 cum laude (30 with honors).

Introduction to Human Immune System

Immunity is derived from the Latin word Immunitas referred to the protection from legal prosecution offered to Roman senators during their tenures in officeO Protection from infectious diseases Greece, 5th century B.C: Thucydides describes the plague that spread to Athens and recovered individuals, who were defined "immune" to the disease.

What the Immune System is for?

To counteract the invasion of pathogens, i.e. bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and parasites. To protect us from microbiome which usually inhabits the body To eliminate senescent cells, damaged cells, and cancer cells (immune surveillance). To keep health status/tolerance to self- molecules To favor embryonal engraftment

Body Microbiome

Immune System Pioneers

Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov (May 16th 1845 - July 15th 1916) Innate Immunity (native/natural/non-specific) Adaptive Immunity (Specific/acquired/clonotypical) Paul Ehrlich (March 14th 1854- August 20th 1915) Mechnikov received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1908, shared with Paul Ehrlich

Immune System Components

Innate Immunity

Physical/Anatomical/Mechanical and Chemical Barriers Intact Skin Respiratory tract Mucosal surfaces: Mucus/mucins Ciliary Clearance Up to bronchioles Lysozima (tears, saliva) Low Stomach pH Gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts: mucosal surfaces, peristalsis

Innate Immunity Cells

Leucocytes Eosinophils Basophils Neutrophils ILCs Natural Killer Cells Natural Killer T Cells Cells Macrophages Mast Cells

Innate Immunity Humoral Molecules

Circulating molecules Mannose Binding Lectin Complement Antimicrobial Peptides LPS Binding Protein Defensins; Cathelicidins C-Reactive Protein Ficolins
