This 3D medical animation shows how antibodies stop harmful pathogens from attaching themselves to healthy cells. It begins by showing normal red and white blood cells flowing through the blood stream. Next, a single pathogen appears onscreen slowly ...moving toward the surface of a cell. Pathogens continue to attach to the white blood cell. During the immune system response, Y-shaped antibodies begin attacking the pathogen, binding to its surface. The antibodies completely block the pathogen from attaching to the blood cell. A macrophage then appears onscreen to engulf and digest the pathogen. Set to music. 53 sec.

A quote from the video: "The immune mechanism is designed to protect the body against attack from invading microorganisms and foreign, potentially harmful molecules. There are four types of immune mechanisms. The nature of the invading antigen determ...ines which type of mechanism is brought into action." Suitable for older elementary students and up. (02:45)

Excerpted from NOVA: "Surviving AIDS," this video segment showcases the work of Drs. David Ho and Stephen O'Brien. By examining the "outliers" -- in this case, people like Steve Crohn, whose cells repeatedly resisted HIV infection -- Ho and his colle...agues found a genetic mutation that prevents the HIV virus from entering the cell. This video segment includes animation of HIV entering a white blood cell through the CD-4 and CCR-5 receptors on the cell's surface. Some individuals have no CCR-5 gene, which means that HIV cannot enter their cells. Scientists are using this new information in the development of an AIDS vaccine. Run time 06:43.
