Course Objectives | The objective of this course is to teach the cells and tissues that comprise the immune system and the differences between innate and adaptive immunity. Also, it aims to explain the selection, tolerance, memory mechanisms of immune system and relationships between immunity and diseases. This course, according to genetics and bioengineering based studies, will provide important background knowledge especially on the topics of immune system mechanisms and their effect on disease durations.\n |
Learning Outcomes |
The students who succeeded in this course;
|
Course Description | This course will include discussion of the properties of innate and adaptive immunity, the cells of the immune system. Additionally, students will learn about antibody structure and function, antigen recognition, lymphocyte activation, and immunity to microbes. Immunity that relates to diseases will also be covered including autoimmunity, transplantation, immunity to viruses and tumor immunology. |
