1 Advanced Course in Immunology, 15hp. AS Course period: 25 August - 24 October 2008 Text-book Lecture hall: Lab work hall: Diagnostic exam: Immunology 6 th edition 2007, by Goldsby, Kindt, Osborne & Kuby D502 if not stated otherwise E248 September 17 ( ) D502 Final exam: October 16 Course organizer: Eva Severinson, room F450, tel , evasev@wgi.su.se Aims of the course: The course will teach the basics of immunology with regard to both innate and acquired immunity. The induction and regulation of immune responses at organ-, cellular- and molecular levels will be thoroughly discussed. Some important immunological methods will be applied in laboratory experiments, which also will illustrate important immunological principles. The immunological knowledge acquired will, during the last week of the course, form the basis for a short project, which will be reported both orally and in written form during the last days of the course. To pass the course the following is required: Final exam passed Laboratory reports passed Project presentation passed (oral and written) Obligatory attendance at the laboratory training and at project presentations Observe: Laboratory reports should be handed in at the latest 2 weeks after completion of the lab and submission of final corrected reports should be done at the latest one week after the end of the course. Importantly, when writing lab or project reports, plagiarism from published texts in books, journals or Internet is strictly forbidden. Also, it is not allowed to copy text from other lab reports. Disclosure of plagiarism will be reported to the University authorities, and may lead to expulsion from the studies.
