In the subject "Updates in immunology" we will discuss topics which were not mentioned in lectures of Basic immunology. We will focus on less known and recently discovered cell subpopulations and their role in health and disease. Moreover, we will talk about graundbraking discoveries not included in modern immunology texbooks.

Course completion requirements
Updates in immunology belongs to subjects evaluated by credits. To pass the subject successfully, students must pass the exam, attendance in practical part is mandatory (ideally, more than 75%, credit will be obtained for pratical part). Otherwise, students have to pass the test or arrange another practical course.

Teaching methods
Generally, Updates in immunology is planned to be thougth in 20 individual lectures scheduled according to the lecture room availability, preference of majority of students. Partical part could be considered (e.g. analyses of cell subpopulations using flow cytometry). The first lecture has been scheduled to Thursday March 6 at 2 pm at Seminary room of Institute of Medical Microbiology (formerly Institute of Immunology and Microbiology). During the first lecture we will identify the best term for other lectures and practical parts. Starting the first Thursday March 5th, 2026 we will have lectures at Siminar room at the Institute of Medical Microbiology, Studnickova 7, 128 00, Prague 2. The first lecture starts at 2pm and we can then together decide if this time suits to all of you or if we try to adjust it according to your avaibility. Lectures will be accompanied by a practical part when you can get familiar with basic immunological methods used in the laboratory with special focus on flow cytometry.
