S02E08 The Immune System And Primary Immunodeficiencies With Magdalena Dziadzio

Bolus: education delivered stat

Dr Magdalena Dziadzio kindly joins us to discuss all things immunity. She discusses the organs, tissues, proteins and cells that when combined, protect us from infection and cancer. We gain insight into how B-cell and T-cell lymphocytes work together in the thymus to develop antibodies that give our immune system memory. We then proceed onto different types of primary immunodeficiencies, where one element of protection (i.e. compliment or T-cells) has not developed as intended, and how they can be treated.
