Chapter 517: 1 step away

Wu Qiwen's flu is fine, but he is still in the medical observation period. He cannot leave the laboratory. The life science laboratory will always check the level of NK cells in Wu Qiwen's body.

停止 It will take a while before the number of high-level NK cells in the body drops completely after stopping the gene expression-inducing drugs.

Labs need to observe the effects of high levels of NK cells on human function and immune system.

Gao Siqi's team also started to write this experimental paper "Gene Induced Somatic Cell Differentiation NK Cell Kills Ebola Virus" while experimenting.

Papers and experimental results will be submitted to WHO, and applications for gene induction therapy in South Africa or Congo-affected areas will be applied.

几天 After several days of observation, Wu Qiwen's physical condition is normal, and the level of NK cells is gradually approaching the normal trend.

Lab also found an unexpected surprise, Wu Qiwen's immune ability was enhanced, the laboratory simply hit iron while hot, and carried out research on NK cells and human immune function.

Pangu Science and Technology Park, Life Science Laboratory.

Gao Siqi gave Xiao Ming the paper she had just written and said, "One step away."

Gao Siqi did not know if this was good news. "Life science laboratories have become more skilled in controlling gene expression. We are only one step away from expressing human genes based on somatic cells."

Gao Siqi said this is a bit more ridiculous, the more direct expression is to give me a somatic cell with a complete human gene, I can create any part of human, even human.

This is a major breakthrough in life sciences, but it is a forbidden area of ​​ethics, law and morality.

In fact, after the paper on gene expression regulation was published two years ago, there was this controversy in the academic world, and everyone can expect this day to come.

The research results on gene regulation and expression of plutonium had a huge sensation in academia at first, and many people in the industry mentioned that this revolution in life science and technology may have the potential to impact the Nobel Prize in biology.

It now appears that much more has been achieved in gene regulation and expression.

Xiao Ming gave Gao Siqi the experimental red line. He said: "We can use this technology to create a liver, a heart, any organ and even limbs that can be used in the medical field, but we cannot use it to create a person. "

Xiao Ming is well aware of the value of gene expression control to humans and even biology.

This technology can express the combination of genes to the extreme without modifying the genes.

"I understand that this is currently a forbidden area in the human biological field." Gao Siqi said: "However, this technology will have a wider range of uses. At present, we are working with medical centers to conduct all-around expression experiments to see if it can help people with disabilities . "

The experiment Gao Siqi is doing is not only a breakthrough in life sciences, but also a major breakthrough in the field of medicine.

Xiao Ming is also concerned about the cost of NK gene-inducing preparations.

Gao Siqi replied: "The production method of NK gene inducers is also different from that of cancer cell gene inhibitors. The latter is different because of different types of cancer, different gene loci and types, so the inhibitors and treatment methods are different. The cost is high. The former is only for the induced NK cell population, so it can be produced in batches. In the future, as a pharmaceutical preparation for treating Ebola, influenza, HIV and other viral infections, the cost can be controlled within a certain range. "

In the afternoon, Xiao Ming and experts from the Life Science Laboratory and Xiaochu jointly approved the paper, and then directly submitted it to the WHO Biomedical Research Institute in Yanjing, with the application for clinical trials in the epidemic area sent in the past.

Uh ...

It is true that the people of the Xia Kingdom had a wonderful Spring Festival, but the people of the Ebola-affected area in western and southern Africa are suffering the first short rainy season in 2022.

The short rainy season usually lasts from February to April. Compared with the long rainy season, the short rainy season has a shorter duration and less rainfall.

But this year's climate is obviously abnormal. The rainfall in the short rainy season exceeds the same period of previous years.

In the epidemic area, sewage, domestic garbage, patient excrement, and other virus-laden pollutants flow into the tributaries near the village under the impact of sudden heavy rain. These tributaries will merge into the river and flow downstream, into more villages and living areas. Will even flow into the city.

WHO's headquarters in Africa has responded to the first-level defense mechanism, allowing downstream villages to do a good job of virus defense.

But most of the western and southern Africa here is very backward. Villagers in most villages still live by slash and burn, without running water and without electricity. The water source is the river, and the food comes from nature.

This is very difficult to prevent and control the WHO epidemic, and after February, it has been found that foreign tourists traveling to the local area have infected Ebola and died.

In response to this kind of situation, WHO continued to carry out difficult negotiations with Maple Leaf Country NL Gene Corporation. In terms of price, NL Gene Corporation resolutely refused to compromise, and WHO did not have sufficient funds to control the local epidemic.

NL company is actually understandable for doing this. Why do other people work hard to spend a lot of money on research and development of vaccines at low prices for you?

And Africa is not Asia or Europe. In these places, vaccines can be sold at low prices and used to occupy the market. In Africa ... do villagers in African tribal villages use western medicine? Can you afford it?

Every NL company that speaks with capital and benefits, thinks that this investment will be frustrated.

WHO again made concessions and urgently gathered 300 million meters of knifes from major member countries to purchase a batch of vaccines with NL to deal with the epidemic in Africa.

WHO paid a deposit of $ 30 million to NL and got the first batch of 300 vaccines.

It's a pity that the time has passed. Ebola, which is currently raging after Western Africa and southern elements, is still different from last year's Ebola.

The NL vaccine is not effective against subspecies viruses.

WHO's 30 million hits.

However, this is not a big deal, UU reading www.uukanshu.comNL company said, if you add 20% to the original price, they will make the glycoprotein shell again.

Isn't this a ruff!

WHO: ...

The Maple Leaf Country has secured this business, and it is the only one of its kind in the global monopoly.

The saliva battle of WHO and NL companies has also been reported on the international market.

Netizens are divided into two groups.

Yiyipai firmly supports NL, and thinks that it needs cheap aid for the vaccines it spends heavily on research and development.

The Yiyi faction firmly supports WHO, and believes that human beings should have universal value, and no matter where people are in any country, life should be respected.

While the WHO was suffering, the WHO Biomedical Laboratory in Yanjing received experimental papers and related applications from Pangu Technology.
