This 3D medical animation shows how antibodies stop harmful pathogens from attaching themselves to healthy cells in the blood stream. The animation begins by showing normal red and white blood cells flowing through the blood stream. Next, a single pathogen appears onscreen slowly moving toward its destination on the surface of a cell. The tubular extensions on the pathogen are surface proteins which attach to corresponding surface proteins on a white blood cell, or leukocyte. As the animation continues, more pathogens continue to attach to the white blood cell, rendering it ineffective. During the immune system response, Y-shaped antibodies begin attacking the pathogen, binding to its surface proteins as the pathogen attempts to anchor to the blood cell. The antibodies completely block the pathogen from attaching to the blood cell, "tagging" the pathogen so that one of the immune system's leaner cells, a macrophage, appears onscreen to engulf and digest the pathogen.

cool, a white albino octopus in my cells.

You don´t need to get sick for your macrophages to "eat" all the time bacteria are entering mucose in your mouth, your intestine, etc, besides if they don´t eat thay suffer a process called apaptosis and die, but they are produced by millions in the bone marrow by day...

If I didn't get sick so much, what would my macrophages eat? Would they starve?

Not very good. I wouldn't find that attractive as a non-scientist :)

i'm sick to my stomach. it's a video on youtube. and moreover, these videos are very short. i think they are actually geared toward laypeople who are interested in knowing more about immunology or science in general. like watching this video without knowing what reverse transcriptase or CD-45 ligand is going to cause your brain to melt or some bullshit like that. get tha fuck out.

i disagree completely. i think you are some scientific elitist who thinks certain people should not be exposed to science. i think your attitude with that comment outlines precisely why the scientific community is full of snobbery. "...the video, the animation." i'm sorry, but everything starts from lack of knowledge and then truth and understanding is sought. if i'm looking at the video and there is a caption for caspase-3, then i can go and look up what that is and the role it plays.

YUP..the small fork things are antibodies..which surround the pathogen..and make it eatable for macrophages and other natural killer cells..

ya..but before you even watch this video, you should have little knowledge of immunology..otherwise you will like the video, the animation..but would still think what the heck is going on..

WoW!!GReAt!!;)

that was truly amazing...thats how complex the human body is.i wonder what the pathogen tasted like???
