Antibody and Antibody Specificity The Egg Mishap

Students determine the specificity of antibodies to antigens. In this immune system and antibodies lesson plan, students use a Strep A diagnostic kit to test how the Strep A antibody reacts to the antigen found in the cell wall of the...

By following the accompanying lab sheet, groups work together in a simulation of identifying a faux fish venom and administering the appropriate antidote. They read through five, fish profiles, very professional in appearance. They...

Defense mechanisms, the lymphatic system, antibodies, and allergy are all topics addressed in this immunity worksheet. Although designed as a chapter review for a specific text, it can be used as a unit review for any class in which you...

In this infectious diseases learning exercise, high schoolers read about the two types of defenses the body has against pathogens: innate (nonspecific) and adaptive (specific). Students then complete a graphic organizer by filling in 11...

The team of cells making up the third line of defense in the human immune system are introduced to biology pupils in this PowerPoint. Viewers explore the two phases of adaptive immunity and see both in the form of colorful drawings. They...

Professional in appearance, this PowerPoint projects enlightening graphics and informational text on adaptive immunity. Physiology scholars meet the cells involved in immune response and discover how each contributes to the cause. This...

If you believe hard boiling an egg to be an irreversible process, then think again! Take a few minutes to watch this fun video as it explores the process for unboiling an egg and learn about the applications this process may have in the...

Students conduct a series of exploration activity on how vaccines and antibodies work. In this biology instructional activity, students test how antigens and antibodies work in the body. They discuss the benefits of vaccines in promoting...

Students distinguish between the light and heavy chain sections. In this biology lesson, students simulate the DNA splicing process. They calculate antibody diversity using the information given.

Students examine antigens including ones found in humans.  In this immune instructional activity students complete several experiments in relation to antigens and antibodies.
