Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Die Immunologischen Übungen werden in vier Parallelkursen abgehalten. Es werden maximal 18 StudentInnen aufgenommen. Die Studierenden werden in Gruppen arbeitem (3 TeilnehmerInnen/Gruppe). Dauer der Lehrveranstaltung insgesamt drei Wochen.
a. Aims: Students should learn immunological techniques, e.g. working with cell culture (sterile handling of cell lines, transfection of cells, isolation and differentiation of primary cells from bone marrow and spleen), antiviral assays, fluorescence microscopy, luciferase assays, FACS, purification of antibodies, immune precipitation, Western blot. Acquiring knowledge and experimental skills concerning the innate immune system, and functional assays on genetically modified mammalian cells.
b. methods and contents: In this practical course (hands-on) we will use CRISPR-Cas9 technology to make knock-outs of key genes of the innate immune system in human cells. The generated cells will be functionally tested using reporter assays.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students are assessed on the following criteria:1) Performance during the course (practical skills, knowledge and reasoning during black-board discussion, initiative and participation).2) Written exam; tests for knowledge, ability to apply knowledge, and perform scientific calculations relevant to the course material.3) Written report in scientific manuscript format; includes quality of the data, and experimental outcome.During the practical days of the course, use of the course manual and calculators is allowed. During the written exam, only the use of a standard calculator is allowed.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

a. Minimum requirements: Compulsory attendance (attendance during the whole course is a minimum requirement); the evaluation consists of different performances: active participation and results obtained, written report, theoretical knowledge including final exam. All students must have familiarized themselves with the course manual before start of the practical work.b. Assessment criteria:Example for a course with continuous assessment: You can achieve 100 points1) Performance during the course: 45 points.2) Written exam: 30 points.3) Written report, and data quality/ experimental outcome: 25 pointsGrading example: 1 (excellent) 100 90 points 2 (good) 89 81 points 3 (satisfactory) 80 71 points 4 (sufficient) 70 - 61 points 5 (insufficient) 60 0 points
