Course content
Antitumor immunity "is an important modern field of immunology, which studies all aspects of the interaction of the tumor with the immune system of the host. One of the main topics of the special course is the study of the tumor as a complex antigen, which is a carrier of a number of tumor-specific and tumor-associated antigens and features of recognition of such antigens by immune system. It is extremely important to have a wealth of information on the mechanisms of destruction of tumor cells by all known parts of immunity: specific and nonspecific, cellular andhumoral. A special place is occupied by the topic of molecular mechanisms of influence tumors on the functioning of the immune system. The special course ends with topics on modern approaches to immunotherapy and immunomonitoring of cancer patients.
