ISHIK UNIVERSITY Department of, Biology 2016-2017 Academic Year Course Information for BIO 308 Course Name: IMMUNOLOGY Code BIO 308 Course type Regular Semester Theoretical Practical Credits ECTS Name of Lecturer(s): Dr. Samir J. Bilal Teaching Assistant(s): Non Course Language: English Course Type: Theoretical Office Hours 6 Contact Email: [email protected] Tel:009647504663472 Teacher’s academic profile BSc in Biology 2001 MSc in Parasitology 2006 PhD in Parasitology 2013 23 published articles 4 under hand projects Describing of 3 new species of parasites. Supervising of 2 MSc students Supervising of 1 PhD student. Course Objectives: This course will introduce the student to the underlying principles of immunology. Its primary emphasis will be on the cellular and non-cellular components of the human immune system and the ways in which these components interact to provide immunity. Upon completion of this course students will be expected to 1. Describe the major divisions of the immune system; 2. Describe humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity; 3. Compare and contrast innate and acquired immunity; 4. introducing to antigens and antidodies; 5. Discuss the role of immune cells, their function with regard to cell signaling, and hematopoiesis; 6. Discuss the immune response to specific pathogens; and 7. Describe the nature of self and non-self cells and tissues. Course Description Immunology can be defined as the study of the reactions of a host when foreign substances are introduced into the body. Foreign substances that produce such an immune response are called (Course overview): antigens. Antigens are usually thought of as harmful infectious agents, but they may also be harmless environmental substances, such as pollen that can trigger a response in some individuals. As knowledge of the field developed, the scope of immunology was significantly broadened to include the study of the molecular mechanisms of the immune response, the development of testing for disease in the laboratory, the recognition that the body can respond to self-antigens in what is known as autoimmune disease and the manipulation of the system for treatment of diseases. The history of laboratory testing and serologic investigations closely follows the developments in the field of immunology. In this course, the following topics will be covered.
