How immune cells peer inside your cells to detect infection
In short: Explore the intricate mechanisms of the immune system. This lecture from MIT's Introductory Biology course examines how cells identify internal threats and the complex processes that govern our body's defenses.
Professor Martin details the biological processes that allow immune cells to monitor the interior of a cell to address infections. The lecture covers the mechanics of antigen presentation, the process of isotype switching, and the origins of autoimmunity.
