Course Purpose and Content

Course Objectives:	The aim of this course is to enable students of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics to examine the basic principles of immunology, the immune system and immune system mechanisms, which will form the basis for clinical studies, and to associate them with diseases in case of disruption of these mechanisms.
Course Content:	This lesson; natural and acquired immunity; antibodies and their classification; antigen identification and receptors; antigen and antibody interactions; immune response anatomy; measurement of immune functions; vaccines; It includes autoimmune diseases and immunodeficiency.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Will have knowledge about the immune system and its types, which form the basis of immunology.
2) Will have information about the organs and cells that make up the immune system.
3) Will have information about antigen and antigen-recognizing receptors.
4) Will have information about the basic antibody structure and the immune response mechanisms that develop depending on them.
5) Will have knowledge about the clinical aspect of immunity (vaccinology) and diseases that develop as a result of immunodeficiency.
6) Will have knowledge about the determination of antigen and antibody detection in immunology laboratories.
