BIO318IMMUNOLOGY AND IMMUNOCHEMISTRY

BIO318 – Immunology and Immunochemistry provides an in-depth look into the immune system and its biochemical foundations. Students learn about the components and functions of innate and adaptive immunity, including lymphocytes, antibodies, cytokines, and antigen presentation. The course also covers immune responses to pathogens, hypersensitivity, autoimmunity, and immunodeficiencies.

Immunochemical techniques such as ELISA, western blotting, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence are introduced through laboratory work, equipping students with practical skills in detecting and analyzing immune molecules. This course is crucial for students pursuing careers in medical laboratory science, immunotherapy, vaccine development, and clinical diagnostics.
