Course content
"Antitumor immunity" is an important modern field of immunology that studies all aspects of the interaction between the tumor and the host immune system. One of the main topics of the special course is the study of the biological properties of the tumor, which carries a number of tumor-specific and tumor-associated antigens and the peculiarities of recognition of such antigens by the immune system. It is extremely important to have a wealth of information on the mechanisms of tumor cell destruction by all known immune systems: specific and nonspecific, cellular and humoral. A special place is occupied by the topic of the molecular mechanisms of tumor influence on the functioning of the immune system. The special course ends with topics on modern approaches to immunotherapy and immunomonitoring of cancer patients.
