Course content
The subject of study of the discipline are the general mechanisms of immune-mediated processes that determine the development of various pathologies of the organism. Discipline is a specialized biological discipline that deals with the role of the body's immune system in the development of pathological processes, causes and mechanisms development of immune deficiency, primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, the role of autoimmune processes in normal and pathologies of autoimmune nature, physiological basis of adaptation of the immune system to age-specific functioning, mechanisms of immunopathogenesis of infectious diseases on the example of HIV infection, immunorecognition and methods and immunoprophylaxis of immune-dependent diseases.
