Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful mastering of scientific-theoretical and practical material of disciplines taught to students of educational level "Bachelor": "Physiology and anatomy of man and animals", "Immunology", "Microbiology", "Biochemistry", "Anatomy and morphology of the lymphoid system" etc. 2.

Course content
The academic discipline "Immunochemistry" is a component of the educational program for professional training of specialists with the educational degree "Bachelor". The discipline is selective and is devoted to the study of the structure and properties of antigens and antibodies, mechanisms and consequences of their interaction during the immune response and in immunochemical analysis. The discipline "Immunochemistry" covers the structure, classification and characteristics of antigens, structure, mechanism of immunoglobulin biosynthesis, synthesis and properties of antibodies of different isotopes, antigenic properties of antibodies. Antibody-dependent cellular and humoral immune responses are studied. Particular attention is paid to immunochemical analysis. The review of classical serological methods of research, and also the immunochemical analysis of antigens and antibodies based on indirect registration of immune complexes: immunoenzymatic, immunofluorescent and radioimmune is carried out. The principles of immunocytochemical, immunohistochemical analysis and immunochemical analysis of biological fluids are considered separately.
