Organization Web Site

We will review how your body develops immunity with antibodies. Visitors will be able to do antibody puzzles to discuss how they relate to viruses and vaccines. 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 on the dish to see the bacteria glow. We will discuss the utility of GFP in immunology research.
