Immunofluorescent LM of recombinant culture cells
Recombinant cells. Immunofluorescent light micrograph of recombinant COS-9 culture cells expressing the viral gene Large T antigen. Vaults are green, mitochondria are red and cell nuclei are blue. The viral gene causes these cells to produce recombinant protein when instructed to. Vaults are organelles that contain RNA (ribonucleic acid). COS cells are healthy kidney cells from an African green monkey. In immunofluorescence, fluorescent dyes are attached to specific tissues using antibodies. Magnification: x200 at 5x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating world of genetic engineering and biotechnology. The image, captured using immunofluorescent light microscopy, features recombinant COS-9 culture cells expressing the viral gene Large T antigen. The vibrant colors in this micrograph highlight different cellular components. Vaults, depicted in green fluorescence, are organelles containing RNA molecules crucial for cellular processes. Meanwhile, mitochondria are shown in striking red fluorescence, representing their vital role as energy powerhouses within the cell. Lastly, the blue nuclei provide a beautiful contrast against the other fluorescent structures. These recombinant cells have been genetically modified to produce a specific protein when instructed by the viral gene. This cutting-edge technique allows scientists to manipulate DNA and create new functionalities within living organisms. COS-9 cells used in this experiment are derived from healthy kidney cells of an African green monkey. By utilizing immunofluorescence techniques and attaching fluorescent dyes to specific tissues using antibodies, researchers can visualize and study these intricate cellular processes at a magnification of x200. This mesmerizing image not only represents advancements in genetics but also serves as a testament to our ever-growing understanding of biology and its potential applications in various fields such as medicine and biochemistry.
