The Antibody Song

We recorded all of the music on garage band and edited the movie using imovie. The whole video was filmed at Stanford University. Music performed and recorded by Devin King. Lyrics performed and written by Lnzz Liebson. Music video edited by Lnzz and Devin. The song is based off of Jason Mraz's "Curbside Prophet."

Lyrics:

CHORUS
Im just an antibody floatin round in your body waiting for a foreign antigen.
Im just an antibody floatin round in your body waiting for an antigen to come in.
Im just an antibody floatin round in your body waiting for a foreign antigen.
Im just an antibody floatin round in your body waiting for an antigen to come in.

Yo Yo it all started way back in the bone marrow
A new B cell was made and through the marrow it flowed
Bumping into self-antigens down the road
But it didnt bind them instead it let them go
I was accepted as an antibody wasnt rejected
self-antigens I inspected, but always neglected well
Look at me now, Look at me now, Look at me now now now now

CHORUS

Well then youre never going to guess
What Ive seen seen seen
Cause I have no address and I spend my days mess-
Ing around and floating down around in your blood stream
Well you know that Ive been looking out for
Something to bind to my variable region
Looking for antigens that will stick with me instead of leaving
A foreign antigen I look forward to receiving
Im on a one-man mission as I go interweaving
With my eye on the prize suddenly hypnotized
Because I bind something strange now listen I wouldnt lie
Decide to internalize the protein, chop down its size
Display it out on my surface and to no surprise
A helper T cell wanders over looking over my shoulder
Decides to bind the antigen but its all far from over
Im feeling signals to activate
There isnt time to hesitate
The T cells telling me, PROLIFERATE!

CHORUS

Now you can find me
Here, there, and everywhere
You look Ill stare you back because I dont spare
Any antigens that I see are fair share
The health of this body I will repair.
But dont think youll only find me inside a human body
My applications are diverse
Sit back and relax as I share my words
of knowledge its college
we all are nerds.
You can use me like an enzyme or a catalyst
To bind transition states I wont resist
Next on my list is working pregnancy tests
cause the control region ensures Ill always fluoresce
Also I separate proteins through immunoprecipitation
IPs no big D, gotta keep up my reputation
You will see my low Kds are a cause for celebration
And decrease with more exposures so go get your vaccinations

CHORUS

Hey hey hey hey, Hey, something new is in this body today
Well Ill bind it before its too late
Make sure it deactivates

Hey hey hey hey, Hey, something new is in this body today
Well Ill bind it before its too late
Make sure it deactivates

Hey hey hey hey, Hey, something new is in this body today
Well Ill bind it before its too late
Make sure it deactivates

END.

You seem to be suggesting that you need to bind and lyse the poor boogie-boarding kid : (

Just kidding - great video. By the time you're graduated I bet you could give Tom a run for his money.

@iamsototallythebomb After that watch The Greatest Biology Project EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iamsototallythebomb]

@iamsototallythebomb I mean second. Select the second video you see.

[iamsototallythebomb]

Want to see another awesome Science video? Type in Cellular Cornucopia Extravaganza Bonanza. Click on the first video you see. It's not by me but it's by some friends of mine; I'm trying to get more views for them.

[iamsototallythebomb]

awesome

[dandypandymonium]
