BT 304 Immunology (3-0-0-6) BTech (BT)
Properties and overview of immune
responses cells and tissue of the immune system, leukocyte
migration into tissues, antibodies and antigen. Innate Immunity:
major histocompatability complex. Antigen processing and
presentation to T lymphocyte. Antigen receptors gene
rearrangement and lymphocyte development, Immune receptors and
signal transduction, activation of T lymphocytes. Adaptive
immunity: effector mechanisms, B cell activation and antibody
production, regional immunity, Immune memory response.
Immunologic tolerance: autoimmunity, immunity to Microbes,
transplantation immunology, tumor Immunology. Hypersensitivity:
IgE dependent immune response, allergic disease, congenital and
acquired immune deficiencies.
HT501 Introduction to Cellular Processes (M.Tech)

intracellular organelles: nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi bodies,
lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, plastids,
vacuoles, chloroplasts, structure & function of cytoskeleton and
its role in motility; Structure of model membrane, lipid bilayer
and membrane protein diffusion, osmosis, ion channels, active
transport, membrane pumps, mechanism of sorting and regulation
of intracellular transport, electrical properties of membranes;
Basics of thermodynamics in bio-systems, common biochemical
reactions, phosphorylation and ATP, biological oxidation
reduction; Chromosomes and their structure cell division:
mitosis and meiosis, steps in cell cycle and its regulation;
From gene to protein: DNA replication, transcription/RNA
synthesis, and translation/protein synthesis; General principles
of cell communication, cell adhesion and roles of different
adhesion molecules, gap junctions, extracellular matrix,
integrins, neurotransmission and its regulation; Introduction to
metabolic pathways: catabolic pathways and anabolic pathways-glycolysis,
TCA cycle, fatty acid and amino acid metabolism, metabolic
regulation; Hormones and their receptors, cell surface receptor,
signalling through G-protein coupled receptors, signal
transduction pathways, light signalling in plants, bacterial
chemotaxis and quorum sensing; Essential techniques applied in
cell biology with case studies, basic of recombinant technology,
reporter constructs, and oligonucleotide array.
