| Have you ever wondered how your body fights off a cold, why vaccines work, or what lies behind the headlines of breakthrough cancer therapies? This course provides an accessible introduction to the fascinating world of immunology, the science of our body's defense system. We will embark on a journey that begins with understanding the fundamental "soldiers" and "command centers" of our immune army—from the front-line police of the innate response to the elite special forces of adaptive immunity. Once we've met the key players, we will explore the essential "reconnaissance tools" that scientists use to investigate this invisible world. We will demystify core laboratory techniques like ELISA, Western Blot, and Flow Cytometry, understanding not just how they work, but what critical questions they help us answer. Finally, we will connect this knowledge to the real world, tracing the path from a scientific discovery in the lab to a product on the shelf. We will analyze the technology behind COVID-19 rapid tests, vaccine efficacy trials, and revolutionary "living drugs" like CAR-T cell therapy and mRNA vaccines. |
| 本科目教學目標Course Objectives: |
| Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Describe the Fundamental Principles of Immunology: – Differentiate between the innate and adaptive immune systems. – Identify the primary roles of key immune cells, such as T-cells, B-cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. – Explain the function of antibodies and the concept of immunological memory. 2. Explain the Core Principles of Immunological Techniques: – Explain how methods like ELISA and Western Blot are used to detect and identify specific proteins like antigens and antibodies. – Describe how Flow Cytometry is used to count and classify different cell populations. – Explain the purpose of Immunohistochemistry (IHC) in visualizing molecules within tissues. 3. Connect Scientific Methods to Industrial Applications: – Associate specific laboratory techniques with their real-world applications in medical diagnostics, such as rapid tests and disease screening. – Explain how immunological assays are used to evaluate the effectiveness of vaccines in clinical trials. – Articulate the role of quality control methods in ensuring the safety and purity of biologic drugs. 4. Recognize Modern Advances in Immunotherapy: – Identify the basic concepts behind major therapeutic platforms, including monoclonal antibodies, CAR-T cell therapy, and mRNA technology. – Discuss the potential and challenges of these emerging technologies in treating diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders. |
