免疫學與我們人類的關係密切，它是一生物防禦系統，確保生物傳承、演化的主要力量。我們將在這門學科討論此一防禦系統是如何組織、如何生成、如何運作及如何反應以達到保護生物的目的。1. 免疫系統的特性與生成
2. 免疫系統的組織
3. 抗原與抗體的化學組成功能及其交互作用
4. 抗體性的免疫及細胞性的免疫
5. 病源與免疫系統的相互關係
6. 免疫學相關技術的發展與應用
7. 免疫系統與健康和疾病Immunology is closely related to us humans. It is a biological defense system and the main force in ensuring the inheritance and evolution of organisms. In this subject we will discuss how this defense system is organized, how it is generated, how it operates and how it reacts to protect living things. 1. Characteristics and formation of immune system
2. Organization of the immune system
3. Chemical composition, functions and interactions of antigens and antibodies
4. Antibody immunity and cellular immunity
5. The relationship between the source of the disease and the immune system
6. Development and application of immunology-related technologies
7. Immune System and Health and Disease
課程將介紹基礎的免疫系統及其功能，包含先天性及適應性免疫反應、B淋巴細胞與T淋巴細胞之產生、免疫作用機轉、及免疫系統與健康和疾病之關聯等四大部分。首先介紹免疫系統之細胞、器官及先天性免疫系統，其次說明抗原、抗體、免疫球蛋白基因組成、抗原抗體反應、補體、主要組織相容複合體、抗原呈現、T細胞及B細胞之成熟、活化及分化等主題。課程後半則討論細胞激素、白血球活化及移動、細胞性毒殺反應、過敏反應、免疫耐受性及自體免疫。最後則探討移植、感染、疫苗、AIDS及癌症等與免疫反應之關聯。本課程適合修習過「組織學」、「生物化學」及「細胞生物學」的同學選修。授課方式以 powerpoint 講解大綱，同學必須閱讀英文教科書，並分組提問、討論與口頭報告。成績由多方面考核，包括準時出席、隨堂作答、小組參與、口頭報告、自發學習、小考、期中考及期末考。
The course will introduce the basic immune system and its functions, including innate and adaptive immune responses, the production of B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes, immune function mechanisms, and the relationship between the immune system and health and disease. First, it introduces the cells, organs and innate immune system of the immune system, and then explains the genetic composition of antigens, antibodies, immunoglobulins, antigen-antibody reactions, complement, major histocompatibility complex, antigen presentation, and the maturation of T cells and B cells. Themes such as activation and differentiation. The second half of the course discusses cytokines, leukocyte activation and movement, cellular toxic reactions, allergic reactions, immune tolerance and autoimmunity. Finally, the relationship between transplantation, infection, vaccines, AIDS, cancer, etc. and immune response will be discussed. This course is suitable for students who have studied "Histology", "Biochemistry" and "Cell Biology". The teaching method uses powerpoint to explain the outline. Students must read English textbooks and ask questions, discuss and give oral reports in groups. Achievements are assessed in many aspects, including attendance on time, answering questions in class, group participation, oral presentations, spontaneous learning, quizzes, midterm exams and final exams.
