BIOL 54200 Microbial Pathogenesis

Offering:
Spring, Credit 1.0

Prerequisites:

BIOL 23200 or 27100 and 24200 or 28100. Please see your advisor about additional recommended pre-requisites.  Course Restriction:  Must be enrolled in the College of Science

Description:

Successful infection by a pathogen often is mediated by the targeting of host cellular processes by virulence proteins.  The identification of host pathways modulated by the pathogen is critical in the study of the pathogenic mechanisms, thus the design of any therapeutic intervention.

One of the methods to identify these pathways is the use of yeast two-hybrid system.  In this lab module, you will learn the principles of this powerful and widely used method.  The experiments will allow you to understand the rationales of the procedures and to obtain hands-on experience in the screening process.
