Crazy Cancer CellsJust got back from lab today.. **Happy.. =) Did an experiment that uses immunofluorescence test to detect antinuclear antibodies.. Anyway saw some cancer cells.. And at first I didnt know they were cancer cells coz we were suppose to look out for centromers that are brightly labelled green due to the secondary antibody.. Then for cells that are not dividing, you can see bright green spots distributed all thoughout the cell and there are like 46 of them.. Coz 46 chromosome mah.. Then for the cells tat are undergoing division, the centromer would be all lined up la.. Then ok thats nothing special coz we know all that.. Then suddenly, I saw centromer whose shape is like a pyramid.. I was like.. ''what phase is that?!'' then after that I saw a butterfly.. then I told my friend.. ''hey I saw a butterfly!''.. hahaha.. He was like.. "what???".. then I asked the lab tech why are some of the cells so weird.. As in their centromer.. then she was like "oh... they are cancer cells" No wonder.. So cool.. Cancer cells are really crazy.. everything is out of control. For the pyramid one, the cell is trying to divide into 3 instead of 2.. And for the butterfly one, I dunno.. Maybe it is trying to fly away??? Hahhaha..
