BIOL 44214 - Microbial Pathogenesis

Credit Hours: 1.00. 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. Typically offered Spring.
