Immune Receptors: The Pursuit of Discerning

Synopsis
Discusses the discovery of the nature of the T cell receptor. Dr Ellis talks about his pioneering work on the sequencing of the molecule. Dr Tak Mak explains how his work on the genetics of T cells coincided with the protein sequencing when he was able to show that a unique T cell gene which he had isolated did in fact code for the protein on which Reinherz had been working.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
