Course content
Cellular immunity is an important modern branch of fundamental immunology that studies all aspects of the development of a specific immune response: the structure of TCR and BCR, biochemical signaling pathways from these receptors, as well as receptor formation during lymphocyte development; populations of T and B lymphocytes, features of development and functioning of cells of these populations; processing and presentation of antigens of protein and lipid origin by cells of different types of APC; interaction of cells of different functional types in the process of developing a specific immune response.
