Introduction to Immunology

As we know from our understanding of microbiology, pathogens are everywhere. So why don't we get sick all the time? And what are allergies, why do some people have them and others don't? And what are vaccines, how do those work? All of these questions can be answered by learning about the immune system, and immunology is the study of the immune system. We discussed this system briefly in the anatomy & physiology series, but now we are going to go much deeper with what is potentially the most fascinatingly complex aspect of the human body. Innate and adaptive, cellular and humoral, or soluble, it has so many components and pathways, it seems overwhelming at first. But let's go through each of these one at a time, until we have a grasp on each one, such that we can apply this information to examine clinical immunology and other things that affect our health and every day lives. Let's check out the immune system!

Never mind that you haven’t got a PhD, but for a 70 years old physician like myself, you are a better professor than I could ever be.

I'M from tanzania some one told me about prof dave channel.

Since I discovered this channel I'm no longer struggle with anatomy.

I learn anatomy more than I learn in my college.

I'm student of clinical medicine first year in tanzania.

I really enioy my anatomy from prof davee.

Thank you God for this professor.

Any mwdical student who want to be a friend with me to change idea you are welcome

Just what I needed. I’m currently taking Infection and Immunology. Can’t wait to watch this series!!

[Zyrean]

As comment 101, I have a strange sense this video and series is going to attract some very smart people, and some very obtuse loudhorns. Let the popcorn This is gonna be a gas 🧐

[Gxlto]

You're the medicine to my upcoming biology test. Appreciate it!!!

[andrewjones]

I look forward to the new series. I'm enjoying your microscopy series so far!

[mahdiharbe]

Thanks Prof, this is going to be perfect for my immunology studies and training as nephrologist

[brittanyjacobson]

Wow! I'm very excited for this series. I loved my immunology class in college, but that was several years ago, so reviewing will be good for me. I watched some videos on another channel but they weren't quite thorough enough or complete enough. Thanks so much for all your hard work to bring us quality science content.

If this was really only posted 3 hours ago this is bout to blow tf up

[danielhorowitz-physicianla]

Trusted source for information that you can show to children. High level of quality in the videos as well.

[jshooa]

The YouTube algorithm brought me here, and I can thank it very much! You've earned this sub!!

[vegatronld]

Wow this is definitely something I want to learn!!

[palantir]

Always nice to refresh what was part of my study, a long time ago.

[glennpearson]

Great stuff! Looking forward to this deep dive.

I love your content, i'm actually studying to work in a medical laboratory (biochemistry, hematology, hemostase, microbiology, pathology, histology, immunology, genetic, and cytology) that's a 3 to 4 years course in my country, and your content is helping me a lot xD...

my job is to make every analyses on blood, urine, and shit (i don't know the polite/medical way to say it in english lol), like hormone, vitamines and proteins dosages, bacterial identification, and blood verification on microscope (hemoglobin, hematocrit, form and quantity of each type of cell). etc.

[DariusKu]

Damn, how do you know today I’ll start immunology!!!
Wow thanks

[luizantoniodossantos]

Keep up the great
You are a born
Have a nice

[ummaykulsumtania]

Hey, Professor Dave! The way you explain is just amazing!!!!

[MrButterpantz]

This series will be most excellent. Thanks Dave.
