Organization Web Site

We will review how your body develops immunity with antibodies. Visitors will cut out paper antibodies and viruses to discuss how they relate to COVID-19 and vaccines. Participants can take home their crafts. Separately, we will bring a prepared petri dish sealed with bacteria expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) contained in a dark box. Visitors will shine a UV flashlight to see the bacteria glow. We will discuss the utility of GFP in immunology research.
