Meg terrell got an exclusive tour of the manufacturing plant. Meg, run us through. Mandy, thats right. It sounds a little like Science Fiction but its close to becoming a reality. All you need to know is its a form of immune owe therapy helping your own immune system fight cancer. It will help patients with leukemia that stop responding to other treatments.

They have a system of tracking a patients cells all the way from the hospital where theyre being treated to the plant. Similar to air traffic control. T
