MIC 733 - Mechanisms of Microbial Pathogenicity Lectures, seminars, literature review, and group discussion concerning mechanisms by which microorganisms produce disease. MIC 735 - Diagnostic Microbiology Laboratory and conferences which deal with selection of clinical specimins for diagnosis, isolation of pathogenic microorganisms and preparation of media for their growth. MIC 737 - Recent Developments in Immunopharmacology The antigen-antibody reaction with its effects on the mast cell, the release of chemical mediators, and the effect of these mediators on various tissue functions both in vitro and in vivo. The various therapeutic agents and mechanisms that influence these reactions. MIC 739 - Bacterial Physiology Study of molecular and sub-cellular processes in microorganisms. Includes molecular structure and function, cell division, synthesis of macromolecules, and metabolism. MIC 745 - Techniques in Immunobiology and Immunochemistry Demonstration and practice in techniques of modern immunology. MIC 746 - Advanced Immunology Lectures and conferences providing a coordinated and detailed account of current immunology at an advanced level. Students will be expected to familiarize themselves with the original literature, and emphasis will be given to the more rapidly progressing areas. MIC 749 - General Virology Study of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of viruses. Selected topics will include such areas of investigation as cultivation and identification, replication, host-virus interactions, interference, and viral oncogenesis. MIC 751 - Epidemiology and Public Health Study of infectious diseases in population and methods of control including microbiology of food and water. MIC 753 - Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy Chemistry, pharmacology, and biology of antibiotic substances and their use in therapy of infectious diseases.
