	Shown is a lab technician filling wells with a liquid for a research test. This researcher is involved in preparation of cultures in which hybrids are grown in large quantities to produce a desired antibody. This is effected by fusing myeloma cell and mouse b-lymphocyte to form hybrid cell (hybridoma). Credit: Linda Bartlett (photographer).

	Several shots of a scientist in a laboratory setting, wearing a white coat and performing a test. Only his hands are visible in some of the photos. The scientist is sorting B-cells taken from the bone marrow of a patient with Lupus disease. The Lupus antibody-producing cell is isolated in a well, to be fused with a cancerous mouse myeloma B-cell, producing a hybridoma. Hybridomas produce identical monoclonal antibodies in large quantities and indefinitely. Credit: Linda Bartlett (photographer).
