Chapter 333 - A universal vaccine is yet to be studied

After nearly a year of use, the underground lab has long since become Evan Delov's second home, and the area where Alice often hangs out. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info since the baby gorilla Caesar arrived in London in the summer, the research on the "i virus" has finally reached the stage of biological experiments, and since the beginning of September, a large number of mice have been transported to the laboratory.

The airlock opened, the steel door slowly opened, an inch thick, and the small glass windows were made of bulletproof glass of the same thickness. There was a whole row of biological pods in the room, and in the palm-sized space, groups of mice were constantly squeaking and chirping, startled by the girls who suddenly walked in.

Evan stood at the door and explained to Alice, "A-5 to A15, C-6 to C-12, F-12 to F23, G-8 to G-16; ”

The two curious girls looked at the four groups of mice, and it could be observed that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the little ones in group A and F, who were still squeaking and screaming alive. However, the two groups that were injected with the pathogenic virus but did not inject the I virus were obviously extremely depressed, and most of them were lying listlessly on the bottom of the incubator, ignoring even the nearby dinner melon seeds.

Sissi was the first to ask, "How long have you been conducting these two sets of controlled trials?"

Ivan said as he walked out of the room: "Three days, I'll take out the experiment report right away and wait for a while." ”

Seeing the figure he walked out, Sissi sighed and whispered to Alice: "Hey, Ellie, did you hear it, this guy actually uses hepatitis virus, he is really bold!"

"What I'm thinking about right now is how he got the ...... of this virus."

Alice glanced at the corner of her mouth and said, "The British CDC department, it seems that his connections are not bad, if there is no formal application from a large medical research institution, how can the CDC easily lend virus samples." Tsk......"

To be reasonable, of course Alice didn't watch Evan's movements all the time, she would only come here every once in a while, after all, there was a specialization in art. And some things are not in a hurry, and she is indeed undercapitalized, and the pace is slowed down, and it is good to let the relevant people play on their own.

Now it seems that this professor really did not disappoint her, and at some point, he actually managed to get the hepatitis virus for experiments. Good guys, this is too far from doing research on common cold and fever pathogenic bacteria, typical cake rich and handsome behavior!

In a moment, Evan had already returned from the outhouse, holding a stack of A4 papers in his hand: "Alice, don't you want to take a look?"

"Well done, Evan, hepatitis virus, this is it. ”

Alice took the information and asked, "From the CDC?"

Seeing the girl's blinking expression, Evan smiled slightly, of course he knew what the other party meant: "Of course, James Marcus, director of the British CDC, was my mentor at the university back then. ”

Well, I see!

Sissi's face froze, and Alice smiled, found a chair and sat down, and began to read the study.

In a nutshell, the situation is good.

First of all, since Eaton's resignation, Evan Delov has been doing this virus research full-time, even since September 1st, and now he has been working full-time ten hours for two months. With Alice's abundant financial support of 500,000 yuan per month, it is not surprising that she can rely on the extracted I virus to make preliminary immune drugs.

Of course, of course, the so-called preliminary immunological drugs are just a general term. Evan's current approach is to experimentally extract lymphatic fluid from mice, and was pleasantly surprised to observe that in addition to perfectly binding with orangutans, the virus can also perfectly symbiotic with the white blood cell journey of mice.

In this way, when he injected the added lymph fluid back into the mice, a kind of conceptual "universal vaccine" was formed. The next step is to observe the resistance of the mice injected with the "vaccine" to various pathogenic viruses.

But after simply scanning the experiment log, Alice was depressed, because the data looked really a bit of a headache.

Whether it's the flu or hepatitis, she doesn't have a deep understanding of the pathogenicity of each step, although the content itself can be understood, but it is only a simple understanding of the obscure medical words. Although it can be understood that the mice that have been injected with the "vaccine" are recovering, and the mice that have not been injected are becoming more and more emaciated, as an amateur, there is a lack of excitement from industry experts.

But praise must be needed, after all, she can still understand the report itself: "Well done, Evan, our guinea pigs are recovering!"

Evan smiled and dragged a chair to sit down, looking at the dense incubator doors that occupied the entire wall, and looking at the mice behind the glass hatches, or jumping around or lying on their stomachs, he still said softly: "It is estimated that in one day, the A group with the flu should be completely cured, but according to the current symptoms, the B group of mice with hepatitis will have another three days, and everything is not over yet." ”

These words made Sissi a little confused, after all, she was studying hard, but the knowledge of business management and accounting: "The difficulty of curing hepatitis should be more difficult than that of the flu, right?"

"It's completely two types of sickness, my dear. ”

is no longer an expert, but Alice also knows some medical knowledge: "One is a viral infection of the respiratory tract, and the other is due to viruses, bacteria, parasites, chemical poisons, drugs, alcohol, and even autoimmunity, which cause liver cells to be destroyed." They ......"

"It's not something that can be easily resisted by the body's own immunity. ”

Evan was afraid that he couldn't stand the nonsense of the two laymen, and when he grabbed the words, the volume rose sharply: "Otherwise, the flu and all kinds of hepatitis will not become the most important types of diseases that the CDC has to defend against." And what we are experiencing now is that relying on the symbiotic effect of this I virus, the mice can actually rely on their own immunity to cure these two diseases......!

"The enemy of existing pharmaceutical companies. ”

Returning to the business realm, Alice has something to say: "Even if this immunity boost is permanent, it will definitely last for a long time." But most pharmaceutical companies happen to continue to make money by constantly selling drugs to patients. If we really develop a universal vaccine for the I virus and make all customers invulnerable, then we will wait to become the target of public criticism!"

This field is also something that Qian Qian can understand, and her little head nodded vigorously, and she very much agrees with Ji You's point of view: "Yes, yes, just the drugs for influenza and various types of hepatitis, how much profit margin does the world have every year? If we rely on this virus and directly make everyone no longer sick, even if we can collect high profits at one time, it is not conducive to long-term development." ”

"You two kids......"

Evan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So, the situation I am facing now is to choose between scientific research achievements and commercial interests?"

"The world-destroying achievement is also great, but I don't think anyone wants to get it except for the madman. ”

Alice couldn't think of Evan's thoughts, she said: "The situation has not been confirmed yet, after all, you have only relied on mice to experiment with two viruses now, and you don't know how far you have to go when they are used in humans." Let's wait until I buy the next pharmaceutical company first, it's time to make money lately, maybe in a few days?"

"Ah, yes, last Monday's stock market crash, the Times and the Daily Mail were endlessly reporting on this stuff. ”

Evan is not a super otaku who doesn't listen to anything outside the window, and he pays attention to the "Black Monday" that made the British stock market fall miserably, but he pays attention to it every day at breakfast: "But Alice, do you really plan to go short at this time? ”

For Evan's concern, Alice, of course, was all thanks, and didn't say anything more. Seeing that the time is indeed not early, after briefly paying attention to the latest research, Alice took Sissi's hand and embarked on the journey back to campus.

At this time, the time is already half past eight in the evening, which is the busiest time on the eve of Halloween. After dinner, all the townspeople took to the streets, after all, it was much more fun to watch the rare group of Eton students dance in the business district than to stay at home and watch TV.

"Looks like we should be picking things up!"

When Alice walked back to the business district, standing at the crossroads, she carried the heavy long-handled scythe and said to Sissi: "I have made a lot of money in the stock market this time, and many plans can be advanced!"

"Advance ...... It's a subtle word. ”

Sissi took Alice's hand and her gaze wandered over her: "Do you still plan to rule the world?"

"Hmm...... I've got to do the math. ”

Still continuing to wander around the street, ignoring the amazing gazes cast by the boys around her, Alice pondered, looking at the bright starry sky, looking at the earth covered with stone slabs, and looking at the surrounding demons dancing around, and said: "This stock market crash, the end of November has been a bumpy period, and I can't say how much money I can make in the end." ”

Sissi was noncommittal about this, because there is indeed too much uncertainty about making money in the stock market. She originally had a father who was a senior venture capitalist, and for some time, she had been watching Alice's operation, and it was really not anyone's guess how much the 600 million as start-up capital could be earned by the end of November.

"Hmm...... Leave that alone, Ellie, and take me for a walk in the park?" )
