3 (B) Professional information (1) Course Aims: The broad aims of the course are as follows: (either to be written in items or as a paragraph) 1- To provide the candidate with detailed exploration of elements of basic immunology namely lymphocyte biology, antigen presentation, humoral, cellular, mucosal immune responses, inflammation, complement and cytokines. 2- To promote the candidate's understanding of diseases related to the immune system emphasizing the hypersensitivity reactions, autoimmunity and immunodeficiency diseases. (2) Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs): Intended learning outcomes (ILOs); Are four main categories: knowledge & understanding to be gained, intellectual qualities, professional/practical and transferable skills. On successful completion of the course, the candidate will be able to: A- Knowledge and Understanding A 19 Recognize the normal immune system. A 20 Describe the mechanisms of innate immunity. A 21 Understand the Complement and kinin systems A 22 Recognize antigens, Immunoglobulins and understand antigen - antibody reactions. A 23 Understand antigen presentation and the major histocompatibility complex. A 24 Understand inflammation and the inflammatory response. 2- Intellectual activities (I) A 25 Recognize the humoral and cell mediated immune response The Postgraduate Degree provides opportunities for candidates to achieve and demonstrate the A26 List the cytokines and chemokines following intellectual qualities: A27 Understand the mucosal immune system.
