In this live-action program viewers will learn that an autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. Students will come to understand that special cells called regulatory T cells...

We've been looking at bacteria for a few centuries now, so how do we categorize them? We love to classify things and put them in groups, so how does that work for bacteria? Well let's learn about Gram-staining, antigens, other phenotypic...

This video explains the concept of immunity and the role of the immune system in fighting infections. It discusses how vaccines help create immunity by stimulating the production of antibodies and cells that can inactivate harmful...

Acquiring Immunity - Viruses/Immunity Set - Part 3, This clip offers a step by step look at how the human body develops immunity to infectious diseases.

The video provides an explanation of how the immune system works to defend the body against infection from pathogens, using white blood cells. It focuses on two types of white blood cells, phagocytes and lymphocytes, describing their...

Imagine you’ve been involved in an accident. You’re bleeding and are rushed to the hospital. Thankfully you’re given a blood transfusion, to replace your lost blood. But you can’t just have blood from any old donor... In fact, when...
