The chief guest delivered
a lecture on Antibody diversity which covered about introduction to immune
system, the cells and organs of immune systems. Discussed the cell
proliferation and the changes that take place in specific B cell. As the cells
mature, the cells express initially IgM and then IgD. These cells express other
types of antibodies due to the class switching mechanism in the genes. The
lecture incorporated the events taking place at the germinal center of a
secondary follicle in the secondary lymphoid organs. Explained the genes that
give rise to antibody diversity at Hypervariable region which code for light
chain and the variable chain in variable regions. These lead to antibody
diversity which account for more than 4 lakhs types of antibodies. Also, the
diversity of TCR was discussed and has been compared with antibody diversity.
The inaugural
session has been followed by first practical demonstration for the kit-
Ouchterlony method.
The method was
