In this video, we cover the following:

- What a monoclonal antibo
dy is
- What 'B-cells' (or 'B-lymphoc
ytes') are
- How antigens stimulate the productio
n of antibodies
- How we combine B-cells and Tumor cells t
o...

In this video we take a look at our bodies defences against pathogens. Including the physical and chemicals barriers, and our immune system.

With macrophages covered, let's move on to another innate immune cell type, dendritic cells. These are able to capture and present antigens to the T cells of the adaptive immune system, prompting a variety of outcomes. Let's take a look...

Your spleen helps keep your blood clean, let's learn about it!

In this video, we demystify B cell activation, antibody production, and memory cell formation in this informative video. Learn how your immune system battles pathogens like the West Nile virus, how B and T cells work together, and the...

This video explores five fun facts about Immune System.

This video explains the difference between blood groups and why it is important to match the right blood type for transfusions. It also covers the RH factor and how it affects pregnancy.

How we treated Toxic Shock Syndrome at the Emergency Department. Tampons use is not the only way to catch the disease. The Bacteria that cause Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) live on our skin and can cause the disease when opportunity...

In this video, we explore the basic processes of positive selection and negative selection, which select competent lymphocytes that don't attack our own self-cells.

This dynamic, live-action video will inform students about the vaccines. The program begins with an explanation of the human immune system and how it defends the body from pathogens that cause disease. Viewers will learn the...

When mosquitos feast on your blood they deposit toxins under the skin that can cause swelling. The severity of the swelling depends on your immune system.

Since vaccination was discovered in 1769 by Edward Jenner, it has come to become an indispensable part of healthcare. Over the last 50 years, advances in science and technology have allowed us to develop vaccines to diseases at breakneck...

In this lesson, we discuss the condition known as hypersensitivity pneumonitis, including different types such as Hot Tub Lung, Farmer’s Lung, Bird Fancier’s Lung, Bagassosis, etc. The causes/triggers, exposures and pathophysiology of...

In this video, we discuss the basic idea of clonal selection.

The video discusses the human body's defense system against pathogens. It explains that there are two lines of defense - the nonspecific defense system that prevents pathogens from entering the body, and the immune system that destroys...

Here, we answer what are natural killer (NK) cells and how they perform immunological surveillance.<br/>

Preventing and Treating Disease

There are many things to keep in mind when choosing your life partner. One such thing is the blood group. We don’t think of this at first, but differences in blood groups can lead to complications. More specifically, these problems can...

This video is answering the question of are there different types of immunity.

This video discusses the uses of monoclonal antibodies, which are all produced from a single clone of cells and are specific to one binding site on one protein antigen. The video explains how monoclonal antibodies can be used in...

In this video, we look at the function of antigen-presenting cells (APCs): antigen presentation.

The immune system (or immunity) can be divided into two types - innate and adaptive immunity. This video has an immune system animation. The innate immune system consists of defenses against infection that are activated instantly as a...

This video is answering the question of why are white blood cells so important.

The video discusses the process of immunization and how it works in the human body. It explains the role of the specific immune system, lymphocytes, and antibodies in destroying pathogens that cause diseases. The video also highlights...
