Here's a closeup:
Notice the greek slang (lambda for microlitres), the violent use of base to strip off antibodies, the reference to blood sacrifice (IVT), and the malefic use of calcium. I'm guessing that these were the work of a former Rapoport lab member.

the only thing i can interpret from this abstract art is a possible neuron w/ dendrites and abnormally distended axonal bouton (possibly due to extreme hebbian learning?). and is that a western blot??
