【Course Objectives】

When we define confusion as disease, immunity is to restore confusion. By learning the immune system that excludes non-self, we can gain an understanding of the mysteries of life, the importance of harmony in relationships with other life, and even the meaning of life.

【Course Contents】

Immunity is a system that eliminates non-self. This method of elimination is killing. The mother recognizes her child as non-self and starts to excluded soon after she conceives, so why is the fetus not excluded? Differentiation is discrimination. I think that war or bullying may be caused by a system that eliminates non-self. Additionally, while type O red blood cells can be transfused to people of any blood type, type AB red blood cells can't be transfused to anyone without type AB blood. This is due to the presence of antibodies in a person's blood that attack other type than one's own blood type. But why are antibodies present even though there has been no transfusion in the past? These kinds of own questions are presented, and we dive down to the molecular level to find the answer. I'll explain how that knowledge is useful for the treatment of illnesses while sharing recent findings (such as the achievements of Dr. Honjo, who has received a Nobel prize).
If you gain a deep understanding of the mechanisms of immunity, maybe you can find a way to eliminate war and bullying as well.
