Description:

A neutrophil (part of the immune system, shown in blueish-gray) interacting with a Klebsiella pneumoniae bacterium (shown in pink).

Alt text:
A neutrophil, shown as a large irregularly-shaped blue-gray cell, wrapping around pink oval-shaped Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria.
Caption:
A neutrophil (a type of white blood cell, shown in blue-gray) interacting with Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria (shown in pink). This is one example of the types of functions that Systems Biology seeks to understand and describe. Watch Lecture 1 to see a video of a neutrophil chasing and engulfing a bacterium. (Image CC-BY.)
