Learning outcome - Knowledge:

On completion of the course, the students have achieved basic knowledge of the Immunological system, and can explain the basic regulation mechanisms of the immunological responses.    

Learning outcome - Skills:

In the laboratory work, the student should explain basic principles of agglutination, precipitation, cell differentiation antigen, cell separation, quantitative tests for immunoglobulins. The students should be able to perform these tests. 
   
Learning outcome - Competence:

Students should obtain a general competence about the human body's resistance to interventions from bacteria and viruses
