- The New Zealand Blood Service
- Welcome to the National Blood Service (UK)
A fun, interactive game to help learn about the ABO blood types, and the importance of matching the right blood type in patients needing a transfusion.
Immune Defense against Microbial Pathogens
Part of Todar's Online Textbook of Bacteriology, this article provides a significant amount of information on Inducible defenses, Antibody-mediated Immunity and Cell-mediated Immunity.
The Biology Project site allows the browser to learn about a topic of interest using a question and answer format, with very useful tutorials. Contains additional activities and links to other sites.
This site, part of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, explains what what autoimmune diseases are, symptoms, treatments and research towards a cure.
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs for short) are an essential part of a molecular biologist's toolkit. But what exactly are these molecules? How and why are they used so extensively in molecular biology? The purpose of this web page is to answer these questions as best it can, and to direct you to further resources on the subject should you wish to research the topic more thoroughly.
Humans (and mice) have the ability to make antibodies able to recognize (by binding to) virtually any antigenic determinant (epitope) and to discriminate between even similar epitopes. Not only does this provide the basis for protection against disease organisms, but it makes antibodies attractive candidates to target other types of molecules found in the body
