| Course description |
| Students will learn about mainly proteins involved in immunity from the basics to engineering application. The aim of this lecture is to understand the structure, function and diversity of proteins involved in immunity especially antibodies, and also to learn how these molecules have been successfully applied as molecular target drugs. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Students who successfully complete this class will be able to: 1) understand correctly the overview of acquired immunity and the cells and proteins involved in it. 2) understand the structure, function and diversity of antibodies and explain how to obtain them. 3) explain correctly the engineering application examples of protein involved in immunity. |
| Course schedule |

| Assessment/Grading |
| Quizzes and reports (30%) + Midterm examination (30%) + Final examination (40%) |
| Message from instructor(s) |
| Recently, the number of launches of antibody drug is rapidly increasing, and researchers contributing to the development of key technologies were awarded Nobel Prizes. Additionally, medical applications of engineered antibody are rising more and more such as chimera chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy. I would like students to understand the reasons why antibodies have been widely used industrially from the structure and function, and also understand the requirements especially for development them as medical applications. |
