Ira Mellman (Genentech) Part 1: Cellular Basis of the Immune Response
The immune system is charged with protecting us from invading microorganisms, a task that falls to a complex array of highly specialized cell types spread throughout the body but that must work together as an integrated system. How they accomplish and perform their functions can be wonderfully understood by probing the basic mechanisms governing their activities. In the first video, we will consider the overall organization of the immune response in cellular terms, the innate immune system (comprising evolutionarily ancient phagocytic cells that recognize conserved molecules of microorganisms) and the adaptive immune system (composed of lymphocytes that recognize chemically diverse antigens).
未折叠蛋白反应的发现
Proteins that are secreted from the cell or inserted into the plasma membrane, transit through the endoplasmic reticulum where they are properly folded and assembled and may undergo post-translational modification. Walter tells the story of the exciting discovery made in his lab of the "unfolded protein response", a feedback pathway that ensures that the cell makes enough ER to properly modify all the secreted proteins in the cell.
聚合酶链反应的简介
What is Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)? PCR is a molecular technology developed by Nobel laureate Kary Mullis in the 1980s that allows the fast and inexpensive amplification of DNA fragments in vitro. It has become a fundamental tool in genetic and molecular research.
