Course Objectives: | To determine the functions of the immune system, to learn the immune system components and immune system types, to understand the molecular mechanism of immune deficiency and autoimmune diseases. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Can comprehend the essential roles of immune system according to the knowledge of immun system components they gain during the course. 2. Can discriminate the immune system types by comparing their components and their functions 3. Can schema the immun response effector mechanism by learning the crosstalk of cells and molecules 4. Can find association between immune response and the pathogenesis of immun deficiency and autoimmune disease. 5. Can comprehend the immunological methods working principles by using the knowledg in advanced molecular biological methods. 6. Can reach the information about adaptive and humaral immune deficiency syndromes accorindg to scientific papers, assimilate and discusss the knowledge |
