Monoclonal Antibodies Bound to HeLa Cells

Caption

HeLa cancer cells appear green wherever mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAb) have bound to tubulin, a structural protein important in cell division. Binding to tubulin and preventing cell growth is one way that mAb drugs could kill tumors -- the type of research that may benefit from the use of NIST's monoclonal antibody reference material, NISTmAb.
