Chapter 366 Influenza vaccine (1/2)

"You came just in time, I really need you for something." Ye Zishu said with a smile when he saw Pei Qing coming to his office.

"Yo, your mantra has changed?" Pei Qing said with a smile on her face showing surprise.

"You, get rid of your poor mouth!" Ye Zishu said angrily.

Hearing what he said, Pei Qing sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "Well, I know you must be looking for me because of work, otherwise you won't think of me at all."

This girl is getting more and more presumptuous, does she think he is easy to talk to, or does she think he really dare not touch her? Ye Zishu directly ignored her words.

He said directly: "I have completed all the vaccine technical information I have compiled for you. There are a total of 26 vaccines, covering almost all major and more harmful types of viral diseases."

While talking, Ye Zishu fiddled with the laptop, and then directly handed the laptop screen to Pei Qing, which showed a list of vaccine types.

When it comes to work matters, Pei Qing put away the teasing expression just now, and her expression became serious. She is more casual in life, even teasing the boss is not a big problem.

But if he is not serious about his work, Ye Zishu will not be very polite. He has always distinguished public and private interests, but in his position, he no longer has a purely private life, nor a purely personal friendship.

Pei Qing looked at the beginning of the list and said in surprise: "You actually developed a flu vaccine? It can't be a one-time vaccine, right?"

Regardless of the fact that influenza is very common in our daily life, it does not seem to be particularly harmful. In fact, the number of people who die from influenza every year is not a small number.

It's just that influenza has a very low mortality rate compared to other diseases caused by viral infections. In addition, there is no specific medicine or vaccine for influenza.

The cold medicines we take for colds are not actually aimed at the flu virus, but to relieve the symptoms caused by the flu, such as fever and cough, so as to reduce the pain of the patient and avoid complications.

In fact, getting better still requires the body's immune system to remove the flu virus from the body, so the most difficult virus in the world to deal with is the flu virus.

There are thousands of variants of influenza virus found all over the world, and there are even some influenza symptoms for which no real cause can be found.

It is because there are too many types of influenza viruses,

Humans don't know what kind of flu mutant virus is causing the flu, so they can't develop a targeted vaccine.

At the same time, the mutation of influenza virus is also very common. The special vaccine developed this year may not be applicable next year, so the use of vaccines against influenza is not very effective.

In addition, the mortality rate of influenza is very low, as long as it is a normal person, it is generally able to survive, which also prevents medical institutions from spending a lot of effort on researching this type of vaccine.

It is precisely because of the above characteristics of the flu virus that it is almost impossible to get a flu vaccine. When Pei Qing saw the list, she immediately had the above doubts.

"In fact, human beings have continued to fight against viruses until now. Although viruses will cause certain casualties, they will also promote the strengthening of human immune systems.

It is not entirely a bad thing that some virus genes fuse with human beings to cause a certain amplification of human genes. As long as the danger is not great, there is still a certain degree of tolerance. "Leaf Book said.

"Then you still study influenza virus?" Pei Qing asked back.

"The flu vaccine I gave you is not an ordinary flu vaccine, but has the ability to intermittently induce flu immunity enhancement. Although it has the characteristics of a vaccine, it does not completely belong to the category of a vaccine.

It is impossible to make an influenza vaccine according to conventional vaccine technology to be effective against all influenzas. Even this influenza vaccine needs to be given once a year.

As long as such a vaccine is given once a year, the human body will quickly generate new influenza immunity, which has a broad spectrum of immunity to influenza viruses.

At least for all currently known influenza viruses, this vaccine has good protection. As for whether there will be influenza viruses that get rid of this vaccine in the future, I don’t know.

However, from a technical point of view, as long as the virus belongs to the influenza virus type, it has strong immunity. "Leaf Book said.

When Pei Qing heard Ye Zishu's description, she felt that her understanding of viruses and vaccines had been subverted. She felt that it was not very reliable, but she had been beaten in the face a few times before, and she had learned to behave well, and she no longer questioned without basis Leaf book words.

"If this flu vaccine is real, although it saves mankind from the problem of being plagued by influenza virus for countless years, will it cause other problems.

The enhancement of human adaptability is obtained in the process of constantly fighting against nature. It is not necessarily a good thing to completely protect the human body.

In my opinion, the influenza virus is the primary virus for human beings to adapt to the environment, and it is a test of the natural environment for human beings. If the influenza virus cannot withstand it, it will be difficult to withstand a more powerful virus.

Moreover, although the etiology of viral influenza is collectively referred to as influenza virus, influenza virus does not completely belong to a certain type of virus, and is just a collective term for convenience.

Because there are thousands of viruses that can cause flu-like symptoms, it is impossible to name them by specific viruses, only by their symptoms. "Pei Qing said.

Ye Zishu listened to Pei Qing's popular science in detail, and at the same time heard the meaning of her words. He still didn't trust the flu vaccine he took out, or it was hard to believe it.

Ye Zishu was not angry, nor did he directly start to slap his face like the previous few times, because according to the current level of technology and the knowledge system of biology, it is indeed very difficult to solve this kind of problem.

"You are right. It is difficult to do this under normal technical conditions, and it is not necessarily a good thing to do so. Human beings must not be flowers in the greenhouse. The necessary wind and frost will make human beings go further.

It's just that my vaccine is not developed by ordinary technology. Generally, vaccines are only researched on the virus itself, mainly to imitate the pathogenic mechanism of the virus and stimulate immune enhancement.

Since the vaccine has no genetic ability, after the immunity is enhanced, it will not increase in value, and it will not cause too much harm to the human body.

It’s just that vaccines made in this way are difficult to deal with viruses that mutate very quickly, and it is also difficult to deal with diseases like influenza that are not caused by a single type of virus. "Leaf Book said.

"Then how did you do it?" Pei Qing asked curiously.

She really couldn't think of any other way to bypass the basic principles of vaccine production to establish a new basic theory of vaccines. If there is such a theory, it will be a Nobel Prize-level medical achievement.

Ye Zishu didn't talk about theory. Many of the techniques he gave were just pure techniques, and he rarely talked about theories related to techniques unless it was necessary.

On the one hand, it is because he has come up with too many technologies, many of which are just copying. His research on this type is not particularly in-depth, and the research on the theoretical part is certainly not particularly deep.

This is equivalent to the fact that what he took out belongs to the category of art. As for the category of Tao, he himself didn't have time to study it, or he didn't plan to study it at all.

On the other hand, he feels that it is not the time to come up with some theories, especially when our country's technological strength is generally weak, the openness of advanced theories will benefit the most from the strength of scientific research, and countries with a wider range of education will benefit. beneficial.

If he didn't come up with the theory, but just the technology, his company can make money with peace of mind, because without theoretical guidance, it will be more difficult to bypass the existing technology.

Just like material research and development, due to the lack of broader theoretical guidance, it can even be said that material theory is summed up in the long-term material research and development process.

It’s just that this summary is just a synthesis of the experience of various techniques. In fact, it still belongs to the category of techniques and has not risen to the level of Dao. It can only help solve technical problems in a small range, and it is not necessarily accurate.

Therefore, many people who develop materials feel that the research and development of materials is like a big luck. They develop according to the material theory they have learned, but the results are often far from the expected.

This is also the reason why he has not published a paper so far. Anyway, he thinks that he does not need to rely on papers to prove his strength, nor does he need to be recognized by his peers academically.

He just wants to make money with peace of mind, make the people rich, and make the country strong. As long as this goal is achieved, he will naturally have the conditions to train tens of thousands of scholars, and there is no need for him to do this work at all.
