Immunological System: Recognition, Attack, and Memory DVD

A great, cost-effective supplement to your school's biology curriculum. This DVD comes complete with printable PDFs of study guides, worksheets, and an annotated script explaining interesting shots along with the location and circumstances involved in capturing them. The beginning of this video looks at external barriers to microbial attack such as the skin and mucus membranes and non-specific internal defenses such as macrophages, natural killer cells, and the inflammatory response.

It then delves into the immune response including the recognition of invaders by antibodies and T-cell receptors, the destruction of invaders by antibodies and cytoxic T-cells, and the immunity conferred by memory cells. A discussion of how vaccination works and current AIDS research concludes the program. Chapter search enabled. 33 minutes. 2008.
