Document Summary

Part 1: lymphatic system: overview of structures and functions of the lymphatic system, differentiation between primary and secondary lymphoid organs, histology of the thymus spleen. Part 2: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: application of immune system physiology to the elisa assay, distinction between direct and indirect elisa: purpose and technique, demonstration of elisa technique. Part 3: hemolytic plaque assay: explanation of the hemolytic plaque assay to detect antibody-producing cells, demonstration of hemolytic plaque assay technique. Participate in immune responses to protect against foreign pathogens. Lymphatic capillaries collect interstitial fluid (lymph) from tissue spaces, and merge into larger lymph vessels. Lymph vessels ultimately merge into right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct. Ducts return fluid to the blood circulation at the subclavian veins. Lymph circulates through lymph nodes scattered through the body. Lymphatic capillaries collect interstitial fluid (lymph) from tissue spaces.
