Prerequisites
Biology, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, MicrobioloyIntended learning outcomes
The course gives basic knowledge about how different methods can be used for studying cell and tissue structure and function. It will also provide theoretical knowledge of concepts and methods in immune biology and immunology. After the course the student will be able to:
- explain how cells and tissues should be prepared for further analysis
- for a given cell biological problem to choose appropriate analytical method
- explain the advantages and disadvantages of different analytical methods
- explain the theory behind the chosen preparation method for cells/tissue
- explain the theory behind the chosen method of analysis
- perform a theoretical project included literature search
- account for project work in written and oral
- defend their own presentation and oppose to the work of others
- Give an overview of the innate / natural immunity, including inflammation process.
- Give an overview of the adaptive / acquired immunity.
- Describe the theory behind and application of important immunological methods.
Course content
Tissue and cell preparation for microscopy.
Biological markers for methods discussed within the course. Fluorometry, cytometry and flow cytometry.

Chemiluminescence.
Electron microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, ratio imaging and confocal microscopy: construction and function of the equipment.
Inflammatory cells and mediators.
Inflammation and the development and structure of the immune system.
Diseases and problems caused by the immune defence.
Immunological methods.Teaching and working methods
The course consists of lectures, practical exercises on the basis of "problem-based learning", hand-in assignments, a theoretical project and seminars.
