Course content

Structure and function of the immune system. Laboratory tasks: Antigen / Antibody reactions, Differentiate immune cells in blood using light microscopy, separating and count immunecells by specific surface markers and fluorescence microscopy. Theoretical knowledge of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites); structure and host interaction. Laboratory tasks: cultivation of bacteria, identification of bacteria and virus and testing antibiotic resistance

Learning outcome

Upon passing the exam the student should have knowledge of:

  • The immune system's structure and organization.
  • How cells in the immune system work and cooperate in an immune response.
  • The structure of microorganisms and their interaction with the host.

Upon passing the exam the student should have knowledge and skills relating to:

  • How microorganisms are analyzed and examined as part of making a diagnosis and regarding the follow-up of treatment.
  • Proper treatment of different types of human biological sample materials, with knowledge of how analytical, pre- and post-analytical conditions may affect the analytical result.
  • The use of analytical instruments and laboratory equipment for use in medical laboratories for microbiology and immunology.
  • Mastery of methods and tasks regarding biomedical laboratory science in a structured and accurate manner, in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and procedures, and assessment of a method's possibilities, limitations and sources of error to ensure reliable analytical results.
  • How to handle different types of human biological specimens and their corresponding results and information.
  • The skills and competencies needed to interpret an order, gather a sample correctly, send human biological materials and convey test results in Norwegian in writing, orally and at the correct time.
  • Finding, assessing and following current guidelines for protection against chemical substances and biological material and understand their impact on the organism as well as their environment consequences with focus on HSE.
