  • I didn't understand at the very end when the infected T cell opens up is it letting the virus go? or ...? and very cute :)

  • @BabyMelly the end is demonstrating apoptosis of the infected cell + virus (via the cytotoxins) and also the perforation of its cell membrane (via perforin) - the lego heads were supposed to represent the cytotoxins and perforin lol

    I apologize - this video was used as a supplement to my presentation and not as descriptive as it should be
