Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Successful mastering of disciplines of PR "Bachelor". Ability to independently apply knowledge and skills acquired during mastering biochemistry, immunology and molecular biology; know the basics of modern methods of immuno-biochemical research, search for scientific literature and have the basics of systems analysis. Possession of skills in working with materials and equipment used in practical biochemistry and immunology.
Course content
The discipline "Biochemical bases of immunity" is a component of a cycle of preparation of experts of educational level "Master" on the educational program "Biology". It acquaints the student with the basic principles of structure and functioning of the immune system, features of biochemical characteristics of antigenic determinants, the structure of immunoglobulins and their genes, lymphocyte activation and the specifics of immunodiagnostics in pathological conditions. The discipline "Biochemical bases of immunity" highlights the features of biochemical ways of implementing the immune system in the functioning of the body's defense mechanisms; modern research methods developed within the framework of immunochemical approaches widely used in biochemistry and medicine are outlined. The discipline is designed to generalize the idea of ​​structural diversity and functional uniqueness of the immune system, the regulation of which is coordinated by a wide range of biochemical processes.
