HIV/AIDS
Simulate the spread of HIV through a population with virtual
fluid exchanges. Results from a computer-simulated ELISA are
used for an epidemiological study to determine possible original
HIV carriers.
The
ELISA Assay Understand how an ELISA is performed, learn
what serum components are measured in an ELISA, and be able
to explain how an ELISA test is used to detect sero-positivity
for HIV or any other pathogen.
Western
Blotting Analysis Learn why a western blot is a confirmatory
test for HIV positivity, what serum components are measured
in an ELISA, and how a western blot is performed.

 Introduction
to Immunology Learn
the basics about the immune system.
Antibody
Structure Understand how an antibody's physical structure
determines its interaction with antigen.
HIV
and AIDS Learn about HIV's interaction with the immune
system and how current treatments interrupt the HIV lifecycle.
Case Studies
Written in collaboration with Veterinary Science and Microbiology,
these cases studies are designed for advanced students.
AIDS
Lab Use this laboratory simulation in your classroom
to teach about the spread of a hypothetical disease causing agent,
and show how the presence of antibodies in a sample of body fluid
can be used to determine if individuals are infectious.
