Viral Attack--cute comic book explanation of key elements of immune system response. Click on the side bar elements on the right side of the page for the details appropriate to AP Biology.
Herd Immunity--Paul Anderson (via video--10 min) explains how vaccines contribute to herd immunity that protects us all. This helps explain how those of us who choose not to be vaccinated, say, against MEASLES, can endanger us all.
AIDS: Evolution of an Epidemic--4 lectures about this insidious disease. Lecture 2 is the one we watched in class. Here is the animation of the HIV life cycle from that lecture.
Viral Recombination--a video that shows how viruses can evolve....and why you need to be vaccinated every year against the current flu virus strain. Recombination of several strains produces a new, possibly unknown strain, one that your immune system may not recognize and so---you become SICK with the flu! This recombination is known as antigenic shift.
ANIMATION of HUMORAL IMMUNITY--at POL.
Dengue Virus video--4 minutes at HHMI. Dengue is an envelope enclosed RNA virus. This video shows how it infects cells.
Immunology Lab--at HHMI. Learn how ELISA tests work.
Khan Academy Resources. 8 lectures.
