My Cells

These are retinal pigment epithelial cells
stained with Dapi for the nucleus. It is no
big deal cause dapi would stain the nucleus
of any cell but I just think the colors are
"Fabulous".. So yeah. These are the cells
I deal with in lab. At first they were so hard
to grow but now they are growing so fast and
nice. I have to do many experiments on these
cause Cytomegalovirus, a herpes virus, the virus
I am currently work with, infects these cells and
when you are HIV+ it causes havoc....It gets you
blind. Retinitis....
