Overview
This lesson focuses on the immune response from the immune system.
It looks initially at the innate immune system, focusing on invertebrate organisms. There is a starfish simulation here.
It then moves into looking at the adaptive immune system, through a simulation where antibodies for different viruses are tested. It then looks at specialized cells (B cells and T cells) in mammals.
