An idea just struck me so I thought I should post it a soon as possible! I always knew one place where antibodies are used and that is in jabs. It is important for children (and adults) to be immune to certain diseases and that is accomplished through vaccination. In vaccinations, a tiny amount of the threatening virus or bacteria is inserted to the body. This small amount is enough to stimulate the body's immune system and make it produce antibodies. With those antibodies which are already introduced to the enemy the body will be ready to attack the enemy the next time it invades the body. As a result, the immune system reacts quicker to the familiar enemy. Unfortunately, this important medical treatment is not available in most countries, especially the developing ones, which results in a great number of deaths, mostly among children. These deaths could have easily been avoided with the help of jabs.
Maybe my Pop up book Animation could have a more serious approach: the awareness of immunisation (especially in countries where it is mostly needed). There are thousands of adverts on television and magazines encouraging people to give a bit of whatever they can to organisations that offer medical treatment to 3rd world countries. It could be like a touching advert giving this important message. I a not sure how this could work but it is a thought :)
