This seminar deals with the biological basis of immunity and how we know about it from experiments. By looking at classical and current publications following the topics of the Immunology II lecture, the central concepts of Immunology will be introduced. The class requires reading of several papers per week and the preparation of summaries, abstracts and flow charts.

For students of Master programs in Biology, Biochemistry (3 ECTS) and students of Medicine (Wahlfach im 1. Studienabschnitt). Credit will not be awarded if absent from more than two seminars, and if more than two assignments are incomplete.

All information and course materials will be provided via the Moodle platform. Register yourself with your LMU login information and your campus email address at https://moodle.lmu.de/, 7C0713 Seminar Immunology II (Summer Term 2026), registration password: Immunology2026.

Seminar: Immunological Tolerance (7C0725)

Location: BMC, Institut für Immunologie, Großhaderner Str. 9, 82152 Martinsried
Time: weekly at a time to be determined.
Please send an email to ludger.klein@med.uni-muenchen.de.

The adaptive immune system can recognize an unlimited array of molecular structures but omits the host. This unresponsivenes to the molecular self is a key feature of adaptive immunity and named immunological tolerance. The students will look at and present key papers that have dissected it.
