Medical Immunology plays a major role in both basic research and clinical application of medical science. This course mainly introduces the components and basic functions of immune system, and knowledge about clinical immunological diseases, principle of immune prevention and treatment.

 According to the COVD-19 pandemic, Immunology not only provided explanation of basic pathogenic mechanism of the virus but also provided prevention and treatment strategy, especially the development of vaccine.

1. Students are required to describe the main components of immune system and their functions, and how the immune system recognizes and responses to antigens.  

2. Students are required to understand mechanisms of the pathological immune responses (hypersensitivity)  and its common diseases, immunodiagnosis and immunoprevention.

Immunology require the students have finished the courses in a number of topics, including biology, biochemistry , human anatomy，and histoembryology.

1. What does Immunology do?Immunology is a broad field of biology involving the study of the immune system, also known as the body's defense system. Immunology deals with both normal and abnormal functioning of the immune system.

2. Is immunology easier to learn?

There is no faster or easier way to learn Immunology, NOT only Immunology but also other medical and biological sciences.

3.What will you learn from this Immunology course?

The basic knowledge gained from this course should make understand the fundamental ways the immune system protects self, and understand how deficiencies, excesses, or mistargeting of immune responses contribute to disease.
