Things to come:

An introduction to the immune system in general and the role of antibodies and TCRs in particular

Production of antisera, antibodies and antibody-derived constructs for medical, diagnostic and research use

An introduction to the structure of antibodies

Molecular modelling of antibody-derived constructs

Synthetic Antibody Libraries

Selection Methods:

Phage Display

Ribosome Display
