Form of study
External form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful mastery of scientific, theoretical and practical material of the academic disciplines taught to students of the Bachelor's degree: "Immunology", "General Cytology", "General Histology", "Biochemistry", "Physiology and Anatomy of Man and Animals", etc.
2. The ability to independently apply knowledge of the basics of physiology, cytology, general immunology and biophysics and other disciplines to solve specific scientific and practical problems; work with scientific and scientific and methodological literature.
3. Possession of elementary skills of systems analysis.
Course content
The course covers issues of innate immunity, evolutionary aspects of the formation of the system of protection against pathogens in different species of animals and humans, specificity of recognition at different levels of the immune system, multifactorial and multilevel immune system, formation of effector mechanisms of inflammation, humoral roles: cytokines, system complement, proteins of the acute phase of inflammation, endogenous antimicrobial peptides, the system of interferons - and cellular: myeloid and lymphoid cells of the body's immune system in the implementation of the mechanisms of natural immunity.
The study of the effector mechanisms of innate immunity as the basis of general immunobiology is relevant for further study of the mechanisms of adaptive immunity and the student's understanding of the relationships between different parts of the immune system.
