免疫學與微生物學、營養學、細胞生物學、神經內分泌學，乃至於分子生物學都有密切之關連。因內容龐大複雜，在沒有導引性課程之下，初習者容易望之卻步。本課程以食品科學系或其他生命科學相關科系大二以上學生為對象，嘗試以建構在普通生物學的基礎上深入淺出方式帶領修習者進入免疫生物學的奧妙殿堂，除瞭解免疫機制之各部運作原理，也能初步瞭解免疫系統與身體其他系統之交互關係，以及環境因子如食物、壓力、疾病等對於系統之影響。授課內容包含：1.免疫系統成員/扮演角色與免疫基本概念 2.先天免疫系統 3.發炎反應 4.抗原呈現 5.後天免疫系統 6.過敏反應 7.免疫調節 8.先天及後天免疫疾病Immunology is closely related to microbiology, nutrition, cell biology, neuroendocrinology, and even molecular biology. Due to the large and complex content, novice learners are easily put off without introductory courses. This course is targeted at sophomores and above in the Department of Food Science or other life science-related departments. It attempts to lead students into the mysterious palace of immunobiology in a simple and easy-to-understand way based on general biology. In addition to understanding the operation of each part of the immune mechanism Principles can also provide a preliminary understanding of the interaction between the immune system and other systems of the body, as well as the impact of environmental factors such as food, stress, disease, etc. on the system. The teaching content includes: 1. Members/roles of the immune system and basic concepts of immunity 2. Innate immune system 3. Inflammatory response 4. Antigen presentation 5. Acquired immune system 6. Allergic reaction 7. Immune regulation 8. Innate and acquired immune diseases
本課程為三學分，涵蓋下列課題：免疫系統之成員與角色介紹、抗體與B細胞、T細胞與抗原辨認、B細胞與T細胞發育、B細胞與T細胞於後天免疫所擔任任務(包含補體系統)、身體對感染之防禦、防禦之失敗、免疫過度反應、自體免疫疾病，最後為免疫系統之操控。其中將穿插以Kuby與Janeway兩本參考書中較新且有趣之免疫發現與實驗內容。
This course is three credits and covers the following topics: introduction to the members and roles of the immune system, antibodies and B cells, T cells and antigen recognition, B cell and T cell development, and the roles of B cells and T cells in acquired immunity (including complement system), the body's defense against infection, failure of defense, immune overreaction, autoimmune diseases, and finally the control of the immune system. It will be interspersed with the latest and interesting immune discoveries and experiments in the two reference books Kuby and Janeway.
