IMMSIM++ |
|
|
Author:

Steven Kleinstein,Philip E. Seiden. |

Description:
|
|
The IMMSIM model
is actually not a single model, but a collection
of models that co-operate with each other to
produce a simulation of the immune system.
Currently, we simulate the humoral response
only, although an effort is under way to add in
the cellular response. As it now stands, IMMSIM
contains a model of the bone marrow, thymus and
a lymph node. Of these, the lymph node model
contains the main part of the simulation and is
the most interesting part of the IMMSIM model.
The bone marrow model and the thymus model
consist of simple rate equations along with
probability-based filters. While many models in
theoretical immunology are differential
equation-based, dealing with entire populations
of cells and molecules, IMMSIM represents all of
the cells and molecules in the system explicitly. |

Boron Neutron
Capture Therapy. |

Author:

Lynn Yarris. |
|
Description:
|
|
There is one
experimental procedure that has tantalized
researchers with the prospects of a successful
treatment. Called boron neutron capture therapy,
or BNCT, the hopes raised by this procedure have
been clouded by the questionable prospects of
convincing hospitals to allow the installation
and operation of a nuclear reactor on their premises. |

Simulating the Spread of HIV |
|
|
Author:
|
|
Bill Grimes |
|
Description:
|
|
This "Web lab" simulates the potential spread of HIV through a population. Each participant exchanges virtual body fluids with other participants, some of whom are HIV+. A computer-simulated ELISA will illustrate the spread of HIV through a population. |

ELISA Activity |
|
|
Author:
|
|
William J. Grimes |
|
Description:
|
|
The ELISA is a fundamental tool of clinical immunology, and is used as an initial screen for HIV detection. Based on the principle of antibody-antibody interaction, this test allows for easy visualization of results and can be completed without the additional concern of radioactive materials use. |

Tissue Typing for Beginners |
|
|
Author:

Gareth Page |
|
Description:
|
|
This turotial is good for the bioengineer that is not working directly with tissue typing or tissue engineering but could use a basic reference turorial. Tissue typing is the detection of antigens on the surface of lymphocytes (a particular type of white blood cell.) These antigens make up the HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) system. They form part of a region on chromosome 6 known as the Major Histocompatibility Complex or MHC. |

|
|
Author:
|
|
William R. Mayberry |
|
Description:
|
|
This "animated" (with appropriate and/or inappropriate sounds) PowerPoint presentation can be utilized in the classroom to provide:
1. An introduction (brief history and structural basis) to the Acid-Fast Stain.
2. Stepwise instructions for the techniques.
3. "Cartoons" of how the cells appear at each step.
4. Views of typical Acid-Fast morphologies.

|
Description:
|
|
This animation, which shows DNA replication and the interactions of the various enzymes, can be used to illustrate to students the order of events in DNA replication, as well as emphasize which enzymes are involved in the process. |
