Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. To understand the molecular basis of the immune response 2. To describe the consequences of impairment of the immune system 3. To describe the principles of cancer immune therapy 4. To describe the immune response to infections 5. To understand the Autoimmunity Content The Immune System is our biological defense system which protect us from external and internal dangers. Impairment of the immune system will affect our ability to combat infections (virus, bacteria, and parasites) and malignant diseases. On the other hand lack of self-tolerance can cause self-destruction as found in autoimmunity. The course aim to deal with and explain these challenges.
