A graphic and exciting activity that is sure to provoke discussion! Students simulate the exchange of body fluids as a means of spreading the HIV virus. Use this kit to initiate a discussion of the transmission of AIDS and other sexually-transmitted ...

This experiment is a simulation of screening for antibodies against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is currently used as an initial clinical screening of the blood supply for HIV-1. Students add simulat...

A comprehensive module on the molecular biology of the HIV virus. Students build their own RNA and DNA models, develop a hands-on understanding of how genetic information is transmitted in biological systems, and learn how RNA is reverse transcribed ...

Many laboratory procedures have been designed to detect the presence of antibodies and the interactions between antigens and antibodies. One such test, ELISA-Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay-has received popular notice recently due to its use in det...
