About the course
Aim
The course will provide theoretical and practical knowledge of the concepts and methods in immune biology and immunology. After the course, participants will be able to
- give an account of the different parts and functions of the innate immune system, e.g. inflammatory process is initiated, regulated and controlled in the immune system against various infections. This includes knowledge of various inflammatory mediators and inflammatory cells.
- explain how the body's adaptive immunity is regulated and activated in various infections, including interactions with the innate immune system.
- understand how to exploit the immune system to avoid infections. This involves the ability to explain how vaccines and adjuvant function.
- know the various diseases and problems caused by the immune system and explain the significance of the immune system has in various cases.
- account for the theory behind and use some immunological methods and have an understanding of how immunological principles could be used in industry and research.
Content
Inflammatory mediators (complement system, reactive oxygen metabolites, lysosomal enzymes, cytokines, chemotactic factors), inflammatory cells (phagocytosed cells, interaction with inflammatory mediators); inflammation process, including immune system development and construction (antibodies structure and function, antibody formation, the interaction between antigen-presenting cells, B - cells and Th) cells, various types of vaccines and adjuvants; diseases and problems caused by the immune system (allergic reactions, autoimmune diseases, problems with different types of implants), immunological methods and principles (antigen-antibody reaction, agglutination, precipitation, including immunofluorescensmetoder flow cytometry and Luminex, ELISA).
