It is aimed to understand the basic principle and working mechanism of immune system. During the course, students will be introduced to working principles, mechanisms and functions of the human immune system. It will focus on the processes that are coordinated with one of these mechanisms against pathogenic or foreign factors entering the body, and how and in what ways they make the effect harmless and / or eliminated and the events that develop in these processes.

| Lessons are taught theoretically and in presentation style. In the lessons, the structure of the human immune system, the natural and acquired immune response to pathogens, and the stages are delineated at the molecular level. The most up-to-date information on transplantation and tumor immunology, congenital and acquired immunodeficiency states and hypersensitivity reactions and vaccines in use are given. |
