Course content
It is a basic discipline that highlights the regulatory role of the immune system in its cooperative interaction with the nervous and endocrine systems by controlling and coordinating the phenomena of reproductive function as destructive (menstruation, luteolysis, ovulation, childbirth) and formative, gametocongenesis, gametocongenesis , placentation, etc.) nature, as well as outlines the range of methods of modeling and analytical research that can be used in conducting experiments in related sciences and in interdisciplinary projects and which require in-depth knowledge of the course "Reproductive Immunology". The discipline is designed to create a system of knowledge about the structural and functional features of the immune system in the reproductive tract of man and woman and the involvement of effector and regulatory mechanisms of immune reactivity in reproductive function, as well as triggers and mechanisms of immune reactivity in embryogenesis.
