A Primer on Antibodies

A Primer on Antibodies

An antibody is a protein component of the immune system that circulates in the blood, recognizes foreign substances like bacteria and viruses, and neutralizes them. Thus, an important part of unlocking how diseases are prevented is to understand how antibodies function. In this course, you will get to know the 5 classes of antibodies and their individual roles in the immune system. We will start from its discovery, how they are made in the body, and how they are used in the field of medicine and research. The topics you will learn are essential in building or strengthening your knowledge in the field of immunology. So if you're curious about how antibodies work, this is the course for you.

Upon enrollment to the course all materials such as lecture videos, practice quizzes, and downloadable resources will always be available should you wish to go back to the material to study and review. You will also receive a Certificate of Completion which you can use to boost your resume, curriculum vitae, or LinkedIn profile.
