Course content
The educational discipline "Immunology of reproduction" is an integral part of the professional training program for specialists with the educational qualification degree "master" in the field of knowledge 22 "Health care" specialty 222 "Medicine", educational and qualification level "Master of medicine", professional qualification "doctor" according to the educational program "Medicine". The educational discipline is selective. Students study the mechanisms of local immune protection of the reproductive tract in men and women, as well as the hormonal regulation of local immunity in the reproductive system. In a separate section, the involvement of the immune system in key components of reproductive function (menstrual cycle, gametogenesis, fertilization, embryo implantation, placentation, gestation, and childbirth), as well as immune-mediated reproductive pathology, is considered in more detail. In addition, the development of immune reactivity in ontogenesis is considered.
