MGY381H1: Microbiology Laboratory II: Viruses

Hands-on experiments provide the opportunity to develop skills in working safely with human viruses. Important concepts are learned through the analysis of results. Topics include propagation and assay of viruses in cell culture, viral vectors, examination of viruses by electron microscopy, replication kinetics, host response to infection and immunoassays for antibody detection.  Valuable not only in microbiology but in fields using viruses as tools for gene delivery.

Please Note: The lab section P0101 is offered Tuesday 9 AM-12 PM. P0201 is offered Tuesday 2 PM-5 PM.  P0201 will be offered if numbers exceed capacity in P0101. Capacity in the second term is determined by the need to work in biological safety cabinets which are limited in number. Since this is a hands-on course, it will be delivered IN PERSON.

Department-based Ancillary Fees: (subject to change): $25.00 - Laboratory equipment and materials
