Immune System - Fighting Infection by Clonal Selection

[inkuissuper]

the animation idk why but is soo cute.... maybe im just weird...

[rhov233]

Wow!

[HaoSci]

Animation is kinda creepy, and some sound effects are really not necessary.

I have a soar throat and fiever :( I guess my B cells are working right now

[biohazardousbacon]

Hes my dads great cousin!!

[BabysFace]

I want a B Lymphocyte!!!

[DamianNeate]

this is fucking badass.

[anupamsircar]

Excellent job of explaining to the layman how our bodies fight invasion by disease.

[1991rano]

its really amazing

[AdamH830]

It's like i have little soldiers with swords living inside me lol

[stonestonsil]

It is quite sad to think there are many forgotted heroes such as sir frank macfarlane burnet who have made our life easier and healthier, we give awards to sports stars and such like but it is people like him who should have been rewarded.

[hanaarafat]

very helpful



[mazterFreeman]

Amazing production value on these animations, Good job Keep it up :)

[Taqarvust]

It's really not a waste of time, watching a video like this; so thank you so very much for sharing it with us all.

[lc2051]

excellent demonstration, never thought all that would be happening when I have a sore throat from flu or cold.

[faysel011]

thanx



[LordOfLonsdale]

The animation is by biologist-animator and MacArthur Fellow, Drew Berry.

[st9mm]

I love it.

[guyonfire87]

that theory was verry beliving

[muchobootygrande]

It's nice to see an immunology video that doesn't go crazy with military/war analogies. The animation works very well, great work.

[taylorw]

A helpful follow-on version to this would show how antibiotics assist the immune processes described in this animation.

These WEHI animations are brilliantly executed. Thanks for taking the time and effort to think them through. These will be more important as "personalized medicine" becomes central to consumer health prospects.

[kokopelli314]

Truly a "Fantastic Voyage"! Thank you for these animations.

[videouzleg]

So humans and animals are actually each one whole universe themselves... 

[raymanlegy]

Great Animation wow. It's amazing what we can see at the microscopic level.

[Laminaricflow]

Splendid in all levels! 3D animation is a wonderful way to make hard to understand subjects easy to grasp.

[Tanru2000]

Totally awesome! :)

[ColumbiaPH]

The voice of the narrator reminds me of Sir Ian McKellen - awesome

[dmit1703]

this is awesome, you guys should make a tv show out of this

[kathcbf]

this was brilliant, thanks so much

[swissmissdesigner]

gosh, that helped me a lot!

[kunalapavan]

Wonderful narration and awesome animation.. Thanks a lot..

[Lvieru96]

My immune system sucks.

[WEHImovies]

Thanks for everyone's comments and suggestions.

@sailtheseaofcheese. We would have very much liked to include the role of other white blood cells in our animation, but as rmcdaniel423 has pointed out, this really would have required a much longer animation which was not possible at the time. Hopefully we can expand on this animation in the future to include the role of other leukocytes.

[pdxmomazon]

Pretty good. Nice animation and narration. I wish they would've been more specific about the "other cells" that find the antibody marked pathogens.

[WEHImovies]

@pdxmomazon It's always challenging to find the right balance for the narration with respect to how much scientific information/terminology it should contain. For this project, we really wanted to keep the narration as easy to understand by the lay audience so we chose not to include the names of new white blood cells right at the end of the animation. But you're right, we could have been more specific.

[zhangindahouse]

wow, this video quality is absolutely gorgeous

[BeyondPaperChase]

0:50 the man looks so creepy :o

[sailtheseaofcheese]

says nothing about T-Cells! Floating hairs? i thought a phagocytes ingested the pathogen and then presented a T-cell with the antigen Which hen stinulated the t-cell to stimulate the b-cell into making antibodies. Why is this concept so hard to understand, coz every source i read/see says something That Completly Contradicts the other!!

[rmcdaniel423]

@sailtheseaofcheese I think it's all a LOT more complicated than what we hear from any one source we see. I think there are multiple pathways of immune response going on at once, and some cells are capable of different activities.  I suspect the "floating hairs" are just antigen proteins that are floating around. Remember an antigen could be ANY bit-o-microbe that is classified as 'non-self'. Also, the varied actions of T-cells would require a much longer video.

[kaffei2]

exelente! muchas gracias! *A*

[IntegralDischarge]

Yeah...get some you ugly bacteria!

[galaxydreaming]

What a terrific video!! So helpful in my study

[missmelody89]

very good video for those who wish to prepare for exam overnight..thanks..:P

[Squitchtweak]

Really good animation and clear explanation of how clonal selection works - I'm using this video to help me revise!

[dseggar]

congratulations!!! this video is fantastic!

[Atena212]

The best of the best..

[Elusefelier]

Excellent animation. This helped me study for my biology course. A visual aid like this kicks ass! :D

[Maski03]

You guys have more of these?

cuz the information and animation is on point!

[ZnBangash]

Nice, thumbs up!

[LadyLipstickful]

This is great!! Thank you

[nctrls2]

War inside your body

[bastifully]

absolutely fabulous and informative, thanks for sharing.

[acomizer]

wow very good. now i understand it better.

thank you :)

[ONEyeMarco]

best educational video ive seen in a long time!!!

i've already subscribed

[loik345]

great video. thanks for sharing.

[litskov]

Great Job!

Essenitial educational tool.

Must be reproduced!

[ResidentAk]

yay for the Immune System :D

[BFDK]

Great animation and detail :)

[Changing4DBetter]

Great job Etsuko, Drew Franco, David and team! very well done, easy to understand. Top notch!

[Changing4DBetter]

And Lachlan! ... and team0 ;-)

[machatz21]

Very interesting

[biohazardousbacon]

@machatz21 ikr

[machatz21]

very intersting.

[MrSymposier]

Very interesting video, clonal selection theory is an accepted model of how or immune system works or acts against an infection. Interesting information on immunology will be able at the 7th Conference of the Federation of African Immunological Societies, visit Symposier site where more information is available.
