Can we use chemiluminescence to probe the immune system activity?
Manage episode 421292516 series 2680968
Oxygen is activated quantum-mechanically in the body to act against bacterial infections.
Professor Robert C Allen shows that the antibacterial action of oxygen can be monitored by measuring the light emitted as the immune system responds to pathogen attacks. He has developed techniques based on the use of chemiluminigenicmolecules which provide unprecedented insight into the neutrophil activity and afford powerful point of care diagnostic tools for immune system monitoring.
