Immunology
Describe the two signals needed to activate B and T cellsDescribe the structure of a lymph node and relate this structure tothe function of the lymph node in concentrating antigen andinitiating an immune response.
Explain how an ELISA is used to quantify antibody concentrationsand measure an immune response.
Understand how to interpret FACS data including side vs forwardscatter, MFI values and multicolor staining profiles Distinguishbetween how B and T cells recognize antigens.
Describe the 4 mechanisms which contribute to B cell receptordiversity Detail the molecular regulation of VDJ recombination
Describe the formation of SMACs and their role in T cellactivation What are ITAMs and what role do they play in theinitiation of B and T cell recepetor signaling?
