Project: Targeting multiple myeloma with monoclonal antibodies

The monoclonal antibody has become instrumental for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

In this sequence, monoclonal antibodies have targeted CD38, a protein commonly expressed on the surface of cancerous plasma cells.

A goal for this sequence was to explore a visual approach that resembled a deep sea look & feel, including planktonic soft-bodied organisms and other invertebrate animals that live near the ocean floor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Activation of the complement system triggers the formation of pores in the cellular membrane, leading to cell death.
