Course description
As a required subject in the curriculum of biomedical engineering, this lecture provides innate immunity and acquired immunity using immune cells. Based on them, we also study allergy and infectious disease.
Expected Learning
Students are expected to understand the basic concepts of biological defense mechanisms based on innate immunity and acquired immunity and also understand types of allergies and infectious disease.
Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps.

Course schedule
Week 1: Outlines of immunity
Week 2: Virus and infection
Week 3: Outlines of biological defense mechanisms
Week 4-6: Immune cells: neutrophils, T cells, B cells, NT cells, macrophage, and dendritic cells
Week 7: Structure of antibody, and antigen-antibody interaction
Week 8-9: Innate immunity: physical or chemical defense, and innate immunity
Week 10-12: Acquired immunity: cell-mediated immunity, and humoral immunity
