To acquire knowledges on the immune system function at the level of innate and adaptive immunity in order to understand also the mechanisms of immune evasion, vaccination, and the etiology and pathogenesis of allergic and autoimmune diseases. Students will acquire autonomous judgement, ability to communicate using adequate terminology, and capacity of continuous updating

Knowledge of basic cell biology and immunology

Frontal teaching with slides. The slides are available, including slides with vocal comment. Interactivity is promoted by discussion of scientific articles and optional attendance at the Immunology laboratory

Students with physical disabilities, Learning Disabilities or Special Education Needs can request specific services and tools via the Staff Sviluppo e Coordinamento Carriere e Servizi alle Studentesse e agli Studenti, consulting the University webpage: https://www.uniupo.it/en/services/services-students-physical-or-learning-disabilities.
Students with disabilities, learning disabilities or special education needs, once they have contacted the University Staff, can refer to the tutor in charge of the course to define the examination modalities, concerning academic aspects.

Oral examination assessing knowledge of the main principles and technical terminology of immunology

-Immune evasion. Mechanisms of immune evasion of infectious agents and tumors.
