woldson Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Soo cool, I did not know their was a fifth! Mags question interests me due to why cancer cell, (I assume antibodies) were used to create a vaccine. Plus added bonus, "stolen". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mags question interests me due to why cancer cell, (I assume antibodies) were used to create a vaccine. Plus added bonus, "stolen". They had to be cancer cells because by virtue of how cancer cells work, they can be cultured virtually indefinitely outside of the human body in tissue culture. Primary cell lines (I.e. just tissue pulled directly from a person and grown in culture) only last 10-20 passages and cannot be frozen down and saved. Oncogenic cells can last 5-6x that and can be cryo-stored. To answer the question, the woman's name is Henrietta Lacks, and is the proprietor of the current HeLa line of cells used in labs. Though they're used for vaccine development, once the vaccine is made, it has to be produced in primary cell lines (Fun Fact: Flu Vaccine is made in chicken eggs) so that you don't get the oncogenic genes of the cervical cancer cells. That would be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 I never knew that! Have to add that to my lexicon of interesting trivia:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Here is another, most of you may know this: There is no such thing as cold, just less heat. There is no such thing as darkness, just less light. The color black absorbs all color, where white reflects all colors. So the color red, absorbs all color except red.

MAG58 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 More medical fun facts: Farms are the reason for the majority of antibiotic resistance, and roudabouts 2% of the global population is immune to HIV (well, technically much more resistant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboHLS30 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Anyone know who the cancer cells were stolen from so that a polio vaccine could be developed along with many other drugs? Jonas Salk made the vaccine but I don't know who the cels came from. I learn a lot in school, I'm in all honors and Advance Placement classes.

hoov100 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Anyone know which is harder? Your head or the halo bar attached to the roll cage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboHLS30 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I'm assuming the roll cage is metal so I'm guessing the halo bar would win that battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
