Course content
The discipline is a basic discipline that addresses questions about functioning of the innate immune system, evolutionary aspects formation of a system of protection of organisms against pathogens in various species of animals and human, the specificity of recognition at different levels of the organization of the immune system, multifactorial and multilevel immune system, formation of effectors mechanisms of inflammation, the role of humoral: cytokines, the complement system, proteins acute phase of inflammation, endogenous antimicrobial peptides, interferon system - and cellular: myeloid and lymphoid cells of the body's immune system in implementation mechanisms of natural immunity. Study of effector mechanisms of innate immunity as the basis of general of immunobiology is relevant for further study of adaptive mechanisms immunity and the student's understanding of multi-level relationships between different links of the immune system for the formation of effective protective immune reactions.
