SCV0748 - INTEGRATED COURSE ON MOLECULAR BASIS OF IMMUNOLOGY AND PATHOLOGIES - Molecular basis of Immunology

The exam will consist of an oral exam, two questions, in which the student will be asked to demonstrate the knowledge about the program he is doing. The purpose of the exam is to verify the level of achievement of the training objectives stated previously; to assess the student's level of knowledge about the functioning of the various immune system cells, its molecules as well as various immune mediated pathologies, and immune system modulation processes. The exam results will be in thirty points, and to pass the exam, the student must score at least 18 (eighteen). In particular, the exam is aimed at assessing the level and quality of learning that the student has achieved, in particular to know: 1. to discuss critically on the topic, being able to connect the different parts of the matter, and demonstrating that they have acquired basic knowledge of the innate and adaptive immune system, on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of sensitization and immune activation in response to the recognition of a pathogen and mechanisms of interaction and cooperation between innate and adaptive immune systems in the response to pathogens (it will weigh 50% for the final vote formulation); 2. to describe in a clear and in-depth way the dynamics of acquired immunity, immunological memory, immunity of mucous membranes, processes of immune reactions in HIV infection, allergies, autoimmunity, response to tumors and features of immunodeficiencies (will weigh 50% for the formulation of the final grade).
