OBJECTIVES:
• To discuss the structure, functions and integration of immune system.
• To explain the antigen-antibody interactions and how the immune system is protecting the body from foreign pathogens/germs.
• To explain various techniques of monoclonal and engineered antibodies (important therapeutic molecules) production, for treating most of the human diseases.
• To explain the antigen-antibody interactions and how the immune system is protecting the body from foreign pathogens/germs.
• To explain various techniques of monoclonal and engineered antibodies (important therapeutic molecules) production, for treating most of the human diseases.
