The Panorama© and Grand Panorama© illustrate how DNA in the nucleus is wrapped around histones, which forms nucleosomes. RNA polymerase unwraps the DNA and makes mRNA, which is delivered through nuclear pore complexes to ribosomes where antibody proteins are made and delivered into the endoplasmic reticulum. Vesicles carry the protein through the Golgi, and kinesin motor proteins pull the antibodies to the cell membrane – a wonderful example of the immunology of your flu shot.
