This course covers the fundamentals of Immunology, including immune cells, organs of the immune system, vaccines, the complement system, hypersensitivity, T cell and B cell development, major histocompatibility complex, antibody structure, and function. Students will learn about different types of vaccines, immune responses, and the role of various immune cells in the body. The teaching method includes lectures and presentations on key concepts and mechanisms in Immunology. This course is intended for individuals interested in understanding the immune system, its functions, and its role in protecting the body from diseases.
