Antigen Processing-Processing for MHC-I and MHC-II pathways.
Somatic Recombination - demonstrates how antibodies can bind to so many different epitopes.
MHC I antigen loading - MHC I molecules acquire their antigens for presentation on the cell  surface.
MHC II antigen loading - MHC II  molecules acquire their antigens for presentation on the cell surface.
IP3 and Ca2+ ions as second messengers - shows how ligand binding to a receptor initiates the production of
        IP3 and release of Ca2+ ions from the ER.
B Cell Maturation - shows intracellular and extracellular interactions that illustrate the maturation stages of B
        cells in the bone marrow.
Activation of B Cells with Thymus-Independent (TI) Antigen - shows the role of the B cell receptor and
        co-receptor when challenged with a bacterial or viral anitgen that has many copies of a single epitope.
B Cell Selection - shows how B cells that bind to self-antigen are removed from the repertoire of B cells with
        randomly generated binding specificities. Also shows that non-reactive B cells are permitted to enter general
        circulation.
T Cell Selection - this series of animations shows T Cell development, Positive Selection, and Negative
        Selection. The viewer can choose which process he or she wants to see.
MAPK - an animation which shows how cell surface receptors lead to gene activation. This pathway is called
        the MAP Kinase pathway.
RT-PCR - shows how the method of reverse transcriptase-PCR is performed and some sample data are
        produced.
