Virology Live #14: Adaptive Immunity

The adaptive immune system is tailored to the pathogen and is characterized by memory. In this session we examine how B and T cells are instructed by the innate immune system, how antibodies and cytotoxic T cells are made, and their roles in preventing and resolving virus infections.

– Who Am I? –

I’m Vincent Racaniello, Earth’s Virology Professor.

I’m also a professor of virology at Columbia University in New York. I’ve been doing research on viruses since 1976, and teaching virology in classrooms and online since 1999. On this YouTube channel I share videos of my lectures, podcasts, and more.

New videos are uploaded every Thursday and Sunday mornings.

I do not run ads on our work as it is disruptive to learning. We depend on your support.

Thanks Vincent for another great class!

Thanks a lot Prof. Vincent Racaniello. The class is really fantastic and helpful!

seconding the thanks - having to catch up a day late owing to work.

Long out of practicewith exams but still over 60% on mid term, which shows the prof's teaching style is very good, getting reasonable score even on candidate with very rusty study and exam skills

Icosahedral symmetry on the polio virus ... damn, it's amazing how often Platonic solids appear in unexpected contexts.

I had to come back and listen again as my internet connection dropped out for about ten minutes in the middle of the session.
