Course Content
|
This course covers the topics for the production, structure and function of Immunoglobulin G as well as pathogenicity in autoimmune diseases and pharmaceutical applications of IgG. The course starts with interaction between T and B cell interactions leading to the production of IgG. Then, the relation between structure and function of IgG will be covered by focusing on the motifs of IgG connecting the adaptive and innate immunity for the protection of the host. The classes will finally focus on the importance and contribution of IgG to the autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis and applications of IgG as therapeutic and vaccine.
