Course content
"Transplant immunity" is an important modern field of experimental and clinical immunology, which studies all aspects of the interaction of the graft with the immune system of the recipient. One of the main topics of the special course is the study of antigens that induce the development of immune rejection reactions. Information on the cellular and humoral mechanisms of transplant rejection, as well as approaches to inhibiting the development of such reactions, is extremely important.
