Chapter 35 Adaptive Immunity

In this lecture we will be discussing the Adaptive or Acquired Immune system that vertebrate animals have. In this discussion we will talk on how B and T cells recognize and destroy specific pathogens. We will discuss how B and T cells activate and make memory to remember what they see the next time they see the same pathogen. We will also discuss how vaccines works and what happens when the immune system does play well.

Hey Professor!
I watch your videos for so long and they have helped me so much!
May I ask a question regards to HIV. Have we tried to inject induced hPSCs differentiated into T cells to an HIV patient? And if this happens, does HIV still recognize those and kills them immediately? Like even when it's silent..
Thanks a lot!
