The organization of the first group, second and third of the training course "Basics and Applications of ELISA”was completed. This session was attended by 102 students from the third year students as a complementary to immunology course.
In this course, the student is able to detect and assess proteins and various hormones on the activities of immune or endocrine systems. Where the student can take advantage of those hormones and proteins for the types of studies as well as quantitative measurements of the types of viruses
