Antibodies in Action

Caption

The figure shows human blood vessel cells (endothelial cells) grown outside the body. When endothelial cells are grown on a mixture of proteins that normally surround blood vessels, they form blood vessel-like structures (right photo). When recombinant antibodies are added, the cells are no longer able to form the blood vessel-like structures (left photo).
