Chapter 500

Wang Haoyi, from the Capital Institute of biological genetics, is in his own experimental office. He looks at the news about the rydman virus and sometimes thinks.

This human disaster has lasted for several months, and the severe disaster area has become unimaginable.

Unfortunately, his research field is to establish and optimize gene editing technology in hematopoietic stem cells and T cells, to study the characteristics of related gene editing technology, and to improve the efficiency and specificity of genes, mainly aiming at genetic diseases.

This time, the rydman virus belongs to virology, which is not so serious in China, and they do not need to participate in the approach.

The virus has caused international panic, but there is nothing he can do.

After reading the news, Wang Haoyi put down the newspaper and sighed. It's no use worrying about other things. It's the right thing to do well in your own research.

Bang bang!!

Wang Haoyi is just about to start studying his own subject. An old man with glasses knocks on the door and walks up to him quickly to see if there is something urgent about his appearance.

"Director Liu, is there anything urgent?"

"Academician Wang, President of the hospital will inform us that there has been a breakthrough in riddman virus vaccine in Tangshan. Now we are in the process of urgent technical research. Now we need experts in genomics."

Hearing the notice, Wang Haoyi stood up and said, "I'll go."

Without waiting for director Liu to speak again, Wang Haoyi has begun to pack up his things and is ready to leave the office.

....

Donghai Institute of life sciences.

Yang Yunjia enters the laboratory quickly. In the laboratory, there are members of their team, students and assistants.

Their team's key research and development plans are precision medicine research project, epigenomics detection technology and clinical application, and RNA methylation epigenomics sequencing new technology. He presided over the research of both projects.

The hot ridman virus outside belongs to immunology, but he is not an expert in immunology and virology, so he was not summoned by the medical team to continue their research in the Research Institute.

But today, the capital side came to inform us that there is progress in the rydman virus vaccine in Tangshan side, which requires experts from genomics experts to participate in the emergency technical research.

"Miss Yang, what happened?" Standing in the laboratory, other members and students all looked at him. One student asked.

"We need gene editors and genomics personnel in the capital to tackle urgent technical problems. Yu Jun, MI Shuangli, you two go with me."

"Mr. Yang, is it convenient to say what kind of technology it is?" Asked the researcher.

"At the capital Tangshan hospital, analyze the genes of the rydman virus vaccine."

"Good."

They nodded heavily and agreed without hesitation.

CDC issued a notice of convening, and the experts and academicians of genomics and bioinformatics who are conducting research projects all over the country have no hesitation to go to the capital Tangshan hospital to tackle key problems.

In just one day, nearly 20 experts and researchers in genomics have arrived in Tangshan.

The CDC and the Ministry of health all know the importance of this project, coordinate in the middle, quickly mobilize experimental equipment and materials, and prepare experimental conditions for researchers.

Tangshan Research Institute.

Chen Mo and Wu Bing, as well as the team members, enter the conference room.

Several team members were surprised to see a room full of people. Some of them have recognized that, including the existing experts and academicians of gene immunology in the medical team, there are 33 people on the field, almost including the top group of genomics experts and academicians in China, including their former tutors.

It can be said that the most powerful group of people in genomics in China are all in this conference room.

They are looking at people, and the experts below are also looking at them. Many people can't help but marvel at Chen Mo, Wu Bing and the team that is too young behind them.

It's this young team that has made great achievements in two times of bioterrorism, and this time has made breakthrough progress under the condition that they are not optimistic about it. Seeing that some of the members of the group have their own students and some academicians smile with satisfaction, at least their students are promising, they are also very proud.

However, compared with Chen Mo, who took the lead, it seems that any genius has become dim, and the eyes of all people soon fall on Chen mo.

In the past, I only heard its name, but I didn't see its name. Today I finally see it.

Chen Mo is also scanning experts and researchers on the field.

Their team can find the venom itself, but in order to speed up, more people, obviously faster. This time, the CDC and the Ministry of health coordinated and supported by the two academies to find so many researchers, which surprised him.

After all the materials were distributed, Chen went to the podium of the conference room and directly entered the theme.

"This morning, we took another blood test for the patient. In your hand, there are test results. The patients have recovered their initial consciousness. The antibody concentration in their bodies is higher than that two days ago, and the number of viruses is decreasing. In theory, in about five days, patients will be able to develop resistance to the rydman virus. "After Chen Mo opened his mouth, everyone listened to Chen Mo's explanation carefully. Many people in the field were old enough to be teachers of Chen Mo, but Chen Mo's performance was good enough to be their teachers. The rydman virus vaccine made a breakthrough under his leadership. No one dared to despise Chen Mo because of his age.

Hearing that the vaccine is effective, many people are still happy, but just a little surprise, Chen Mo interrupts.

"But we detected two kinds of toxic proteins in the patient's body, which are also increasing with the concentration of antibody. Just two hours ago, the patient died in pain, waiting less than five days. He wasn't killed by the rydman virus, but by the proteins in his body.

We preliminarily determined that the virulent protein was caused by the potential virulent protein gene in the mRNA of vaccine platform system. So next, your task is to find the two genes of the virus protein in the vaccine. We will try to knock out these two genes and eliminate the toxicity of the vaccine. "

"Academician Chen, do you have drugs to degrade these two toxic proteins for the purpose of treatment?"

Hearing the following interrupted question, Chen Mo nodded and replied: "we thought about this method. The medical team is looking for a drug to reduce the detoxification protein, but we haven't found it at present, and it can also cure the symptoms but not the root."

"Academician Chen, a sample of toxic protein?" Yang Yunjia in the first row asked questions.

"Yes, we have isolated some samples in the patient's blood, but not many. At the beginning of the project, samples of the toxin protein will be distributed to various laboratories. Next, I'll tell you about the related properties of the toxin protein and the related information of mRNA. If you have any questions, you can interrupt me or ask Academician Wu. If conditions permit, we will try our best to answer them to you. "

At the end of the explanation, Chen Mo began to talk about some characteristics of the toxic protein, as well as information related to mRNA, so that they could start to study.
