Objectives

This course is aimed at understanding the molecular and cellular basis of the immune response and the fundamental mechanisms responsible for its protective functions as well as the scientific-experimental methodologies used for the study of these mechanisms. The student will comprehend the biotechnological basis of innovative drugs (including recombinant cytokines and monoclonal antibodies) used to modulate the immune response as well as the main strategies for the development of new prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines.
