Course Profile
Learning Outcomes of the Course:
Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
- Describe the structure of immunoglobulins and discuss the mechanism for generation of antibody diversity.
- Discuss the nature of antigens and the characteristics that contribute to immunogenicity.
- Outline the key components of the innate and adaptive immune responses and describe their roles in defense.
- Compare and contrast the development, function, and the antigen recognition systems of the innate and adaptive immune systems.
- Describe various immunological manipulations and evaluate their advantages and limitations.
- Identify the main mechanisms of immune tolerance and its role in autoimmunity hypersensitivity states.
- Evaluate clinical cases to apply information to assess diagnoses, symptoms, etiology, prognosis, possible treatments, and other case-related information.
- Clearly articulate an issue or problem.
- Identify, analyze, and evaluate ideas, data, and arguments as they occur in their own or others’ work.
- Acknowledge limitations such as perspective and bias.
- Develop well-reasoned (logical) arguments to form judgments and/or draw conclusions.
