一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>免疫系統是一專一且高度多樣化之個體防禦系統，在這防禦系統中，各類特定功能的細胞與分子密切
<br>合作形成一動態的網絡，藉以清除致病性微生物與癌細胞。然而免疫系統的失調以及微生物與癌細胞
<br>的
<br>反制亦造成感染症、癌症、及自體免疫疾病的惡化，我們該如何設計有效的免疫療法及疫苗? 近年
<br>來，由於免疫學研究有多項突破性的進展，使得這門科學漸趨成熟，已成為二十一世紀之顯學。無庸
<br>至疑地，免疫學是一不可或缺的生命科學課程。
<br>
<br>本課程歡迎對免疫學有興趣的大學部學生及研究生修習。亦歡迎非生科系院同學選修。課程內容包括
<br>探討基本的免疫學現象及機制，簡言之，即是分子辨識(molecular recognition) 與反應
<br>(response)，以及免疫學在生物醫學及產業的應用，如免疫療法(immunotherapy)、單株抗體、疫
<br>苗設計、生物感應器(biosensors)等。
