Basic and Advanced Immunology for the Non-Immunologist
Chair: Scott D. Newsome, DO (Johns Hopkins Hospital)
The immune system is a complex and elegant system that protects us from infection and in addition, prevents autoimmunity. However, when internal and environmental factors interact and disrupt normal immune function, immune mediated and auto-immune conditions can occur. Over the past few decades much has been learned about the role of the immune system in multiple sclerosis (MS). This session, divided into basic immunology for the non-immunologist and advanced immunology for the non-immunologist will first explore the normal immune system function and what is currently believed to be involved with the abnormal response that ultimately produces the disability seen in MS. In part 2, a deeper dive on emerging themes of neuroimmunology in MS will be discussed. Level of Information: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced
