Objective
Learning outcomes
As a student you can describe the structures, functions and disorders of the human defence system and explain the antigen-antibody reaction. You are able to explain the pre-analytical requirements of immunochemical assays and their clinical significance. You are able to perform the most common immunochemical definitions and understand the principles of their functioning, while also assessing the reliability of results.
