Chapter 744
"This morning, we conducted another blood test on the patient, and you have the test results in your hands.
The patient has regained initial consciousness, the antibody concentration in his body has increased compared with two days ago, and the number of viruses is decreasing.
In theory, it would take another five days or so for the patient to develop resistance to the Reedman virus."
After Lin Feng spoke, everyone listened carefully to Lin Feng's explanation. Many people on the field were old enough to be Lin Feng's teacher.
But Lin Feng's performance was enough to be their teacher.
Reedman Virus It was under his auspices that the vaccine made a breakthrough. No one dared to look down upon Lin Feng because of his age.
Many people were a little happy when they heard that the vaccine was effective, but they were interrupted by Lin Feng just as they were pleasantly surprised.
"However, we detected two toxic proteins in the patient's body, and these two toxic proteins increased as the concentration of antibodies increased.
Just two hours ago, the patient died in agony, less than five days later.
He was not killed by the Reedman virus, but the poisonous protein in his body caused his death.
Our preliminary judgment is that this toxic protein is caused by the potential toxic protein gene in the vaccine platform system's mRNA.
So next, your task is to find these two toxic protein genes in the vaccine.
We will find ways to knock out these two genes and eliminate the toxicity of the vaccine."
"Academician Lin, are there any drugs that can degrade these two toxic proteins to achieve the purpose of treatment?"
Hearing the following interruption to ask questions, Lin Feng nodded and replied:"We have thought about this method.
The medical team is looking for drugs to degrade toxic proteins, but they have not been found so far, and they only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
"Academician Lin, is there a sample of toxic protein?"Yang Yunjia, who was sitting in the first row, asked.
"Yes, we have isolated some samples from the patient's blood, but not many.
After the project begins, samples of toxic proteins will be distributed to various laboratories.
Next, I will tell you about the relevant properties of detoxifying proteins and information about RNA.
If you have any questions, you can stop and ask me, or ask Academician Wu.
We will try our best to answer them if conditions permit."
After the explanation, Lin Feng began to talk about some characteristics of toxic proteins and information related to mRNA to facilitate their research.
In addition to Lin Feng and Wu Bing's original team, more than 30 genomics and bioinformatics experts were assigned There were two groups, each responsible for the detection of one protein.
After the division of labor was completed, the expert group began to discuss their methods of completing the project and prepare experimental theories.
Everyone hoped to find the two toxic protein genes in the shortest possible time.
Research Everyone knew that Lin Feng came to them just to speed up the research.
A few days faster could save many lives.
Lin Feng and Wu Bing came out of the research institute at eight o'clock in the evening. Rush back to the dormitory
"You said this expert group study is completed?"
"It shouldn't take too long. Finding the gene sequence is not a difficult problem.
The main reason is that it requires multiple tests.
With so many experts involved, the time can be shortened a lot."
The reason why Lin Feng said this is because the current DNA testing technology is very mature.
It is not difficult to find the gene sequence and structure of proteins.
It can be said that this is a basic skill in genomics research.
"I hope so. If this vaccine research is successful, you will be a hero, Lin Yingxiong."Wu Bing joked
"Heroes are nothing. I don’t want to be a hero. I am a businessman and I want to make money.
With the release of customized vaccines and the revolution in vaccine technology, a mountain of gold is placed in front of me.
Now there are dozens of experts helping me accelerate technological breakthroughs, which is almost a free labor force."
Watching Lin Feng become happy, Wu Bing was a little speechless.
"Using so many experts and academicians as free labor, I am afraid that there is only one bold businessman like you in the world.
If they knew, they would probably arrest you and parade you through the streets. Lin
Feng spread his hands and expressed helplessness:"I just want a few more genomics experts.
In the end, they called me more than 30 people without spending money on me. It's a shameful waste.""
He told Shi Hongtu that he needed several genetic engineering experts to help.
As a result, Shi Hongtu was afraid of a shortage of manpower, so he reported it to the government and said it was a technical problem.
As a result, more than 30 top genetic researchers were found, which was much beyond his expectation.
Now that he is here, Lin Feng will naturally not miss this good opportunity and let these researchers help him study it for free.
"Next, we need to prepare for the genetic modification experiment of the vaccine.
We need to find a few teachers who study gene expression regulation to join the team, and the subsequent transformation time will be much shorter."
"Academician Yang Yunjia is an expert in this field. He is presiding over an expression control project.
He can, as well as Academician Wang Qi and Academician Gao Fu……"Wu Bing mentioned the names of several relevant academicians.
"Um."Lin Feng wrote down a few names.
"Do you want to have dinner together?"
After talking about work, Wu Bing turned the topic back to life.
"No, Xiong Da has cooked the meal and is waiting for me in the dormitory."Lin Feng said.
Speaking of Xiong Da, Wu Bing's eyes became weird.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
"I have always wanted to ask you a question, why is Xiong Da like this?"Wu Bing looked at Lin Feng curiously, wanting to see his reaction.
"what do you want to say?"Lin Feng had a black line on his forehead.
"magic? Lin
Feng couldn't laugh or cry. There was no way to explain this matter, and there was no need to explain it. He could only shrug:"It's just fun.""
"All right."Wu Bing said helplessly.
In the next few days, the expert team entered an emergency research state.
Everyone was tense and hoped to complete their respective research projects as soon as possible.
More than 30 top genomics and bioinformatics experts, in One topic is concentrated here.
The medical community in the capital has become busier than ever.
The Capital Institute of Biogenetics was also used as one of the research institutes for this topic.
The required experimental materials will also be coordinated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The team was quickly put in place.
All channels were dedicated to providing the fastest assistance for this research.
Every second was raced.
As Lin Feng expected, it didn’t take long for the good news to come out of the laboratory.
After seeing the report results, not only the Yang Yun family, but also other teams The members all had joy on their faces.
Their group was responsible for the project of T3 protein, which is one of the two poisonous proteins mentioned by Lin Feng.
Two days ago, the genetic sequence of T1 protein was revealed by the T1 group. members found it.
They have been thinking about the gene for the T3 protein they were looking for these two days, and they finally completed it today._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection,
