B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes

1. Course Description

This course focuses on the broad overview of basic knowledge of immune system components and molecules. While also delivery the principles of defensive mechanisms of innate and adaptive immune response against infection, immunological tolerance and autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivity reactions, immunodeficiency, the HLA system and immunotransplantion as well as basic principle of tumor immunology.

2. Course Main Objective

 To familiarize students with basic knowledge of immune system
