Course description
Antibodies play a central role in acquired immunity and are also used in several research fields from biochemical reagents to molecularly targeted drugs.
Students will learn about structure, function, and diversity of immune molecules mainly antibodies, and also learn about their engineering application.
Expected Learning
Students can learn why antibodies have been widely used from their structure and function, what is the necessary requirement for their application as drugs, and how to design their desired structures.
