      Right now I’m working on lighting up a white blood cell. People I work with have made a new antibody that has a fluorescent light on it. The antibody will only stick to the white blood cell I’m interested in, which is the alveolar macrophage in the lung. By lighting the cell up I’ll be able to see if they are working fine inside the lung
