Polio. Not long after Henriettaâs death, planning began for a HeLa factoryâa massive operation that would grow to produce trillions of HeLa cells each week. It was built for one reason: to stop polio.
Lacks's cells â known as HeLa, using the first two letters of each of her names â became the first immortal human cell line in history. Scientists at the hospital where she died, Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, had been working for years to try to start a continuously reproducing cell line â but the cells always died.
