Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies confirm that this patient's cutaneous t-cell lymph cancer involves the lymph nodes and skin. The antibodies collect in the cancerous lymph nodes of the armpits, neck and groin and a strong outline of the patient's body verifies skin involvement. The liver and spleen are darkened, too, because it is normal for these organs to collect the antibodies. See artwork: GA-17. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.

Pictured are two researchers on a laboratorry setting. They are looking at slides on a light box. These are slides of cultures of cells that make monoclonal antibodies. These are grown in a lab and the researchers are analyzing the products to select the most promising of them. Credit: Linda Bartlett (photographer).

Shown is a stack of covered, prepared wells in a laboratory setting. They are being held by rubber-gloved hands. Cells that make monoclonal antibodies are sorted and grown in wells. These are trays of such wells prepared for research. Credit: Linda Bartlett (photographer).

Shown is the hand of a lab technician bathing some prepared slides in a solution. This technician is involved in the preparation of slides of monoclonal antibodies for researchers. These highly specific cells shown are those labeling human breast cancer. Credit: Linda Bartlett (photographer).

Pictured is a laboratory setting. A technician wearing a white lab coat and head covering, rubber gloves, is holding a large glass roller bottle and looking into it. A red liquid is visible in the tilted roller bottle. This process is the growing of monoclonal antibodies. They can be grown in unlimited quantities in bottles in the lab. Several shots available.

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).
