SSA Novel Immune cells and concept
Learning aims:
You can name the origin, key characteristics and function of Innate
Lymphoid cell (ILC) subsets, CD4+ T-helper cell subsets and dendritic cell
subsets, which you can use to identify them in an experiment and
interpret their reaction in different immunological situations.
