In The Hot Zone by Richard Preston and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot‚ both authors suggest that globalization is both powerful and dangerous‚ so dangerous that it can sometimes cause irreplaceable damage‚ but can also do good things.

Much like the Tuskegee research studies being performed non-consensually‚ the study of the HeLa cells were also non-consensual. With Henrietta Lacks being the dying research subject‚ the doctor stole her cells and used them at his own benefit. With Lacks’ cells being mass-produced and used in many experiments‚ they provided the world with new innovative ideas and products. With HeLa cells being the first immortal cells‚ they were able to be mass produced‚ meaning endless studies could

While reading the book about Henrietta Lacks and her famous HeLa cells‚ a few issues came to mind. The first is definitely informed consent and the issues surrounding the medical work with the cells. The second issue that I thought about was Henrietta’s struggle as well as her family’s continuing struggle while she was ill and for years after her death. I am also intrigued about the story behind a white woman making the information about HeLa so well known and how recognition of the cells and their

MATERIAL AND METHODS Recombinant protein production The recombinant T-Rp3 was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) as previously described (Favaro et al.‚ 2014) and purified by a single step His-based affinity chromatography in an ÄKTA purifier FPLC (GE Healthcare). Protein was then dialyzed against 50 mM MES buffer (pH 6‚0) overnight at room temperature‚ frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 ˚C after 0.22 μm pore membrane filtration.
