2 NS First Semester. The laboratory introduces students to techniques for detecting the reaction between antigens and antibodies and for isolating and characterizing cells of the immune system. Cell-culturing techniques are taught. Much of the course consists of a semi-independent research project utilizing hybridomas and the monoclonal antibodies they secrete. Most experiments will require one to two hours outside the regularly scheduled laboratory meetings.
