Summary edit

Glass bottle with immunoglobulin to fight against chickenpox
Title
Glass bottle with immunoglobulin to fight against chickenpox
Description

This glass bottle contains immunoglobulin to fight against chickenpox. Immunoglobulin is a type of antibody found in blood plasma. Taken from donors recovering from chicken pox, immunoglobulin is injected into those who are at risk from the disease. These include premature babies, whose immune system would not be able to cope with the infection.

Chickenpox is a common and highly infectious childhood virus which many people experience. An attack gives most people life-long immunity. This sample was produced for the British Ministry of Health.
