212 - new research

Because of the situation in which the whole of Africa is about to fall, the World Health Organization also waved its hand and agreed to Chen Chen's clinical trial without hesitation. There is no need to conduct the fourth phase of the trial, but to combine the four phases of the trial into one, and only start the first phase of clinical trials. .

The so-called first and second phases here are the testing period of the vaccine. Generally speaking, a vaccine needs to undergo four phases of experiments from research and development to marketing.

The first phase of the test is mainly to test the safety of the vaccine. The test can only recruit dozens of people at most. After being injected with the vaccine, these people will be observed for several months, and the second phase will only be started after it is confirmed that the vaccine will not cause harm to the human body. period test.

That is to say, the first phase of the trial actually only tests whether it is harmful to humans, and it starts to test whether the vaccine is effective from the second phase.

In the third and fourth phases, the number of people began to increase, and the observation time became longer and more rigorous.

It usually takes several years to complete the entire clinical trial, and there are even many vaccines that have not been produced for decades, but there is also a flexibility in it. For example, in the epidemic three years ago, it took only one year from the development of vaccines to the market in various countries. .

This is related to the global situation. The more severe the virus is, the faster the development of vaccines will be.

After all, the number of infections and deaths in Africa every day is more than 100,000. It is hard to produce a vaccine, and it will take several years of clinical trials. After the vaccine passes the clinical trials, it does not need to be marketed. All of them will be burned to the compatriots in Africa. Sisters are all right.

Therefore, in this critical period, clinical trials of vaccines must be carried out quickly, and the sooner the better, even the World Health Organization has specially approved an indicator that allows such vaccines to be harmful to the human body in a small part.

That is to say, even if the vaccine developed by Chen Chen is partially harmful to the human body, it is acceptable, as long as it can stop the plague.

As the news that Life Science City developed the BE-006 vaccine spread to the world, countless people began to focus on Life Science City.

Under Chen Chen's appointment and dismissal, Professor Bernhard is in charge of running the clinical experiment, and all experiments in the entire Life Science City have been stopped, and the resources of the entire city are serving the clinical experiment.

However, Chen Chen was very confident about the effect of the vaccine. After all, it was based on the research of the entire hive laboratory.

You know, the Umbrella Corporation has been researching the Progenitor Virus for 30 years, and even developed flowers, and the genetic similarity between the BE-006 virus and the Progenitor Virus is extremely high, coupled with the technological level of the hive, this vaccine is almost impossible There is a possibility of failure.

So, after Chen Chen threw the clinical experiment project to Professor Bernhard, he returned to the Spire Laboratory and began to study the original progenitor virus.

"The ancestor virus has the power to make people evolve."

At this time, in the fourth-level biosafety laboratory of the Minaret Experimental Base, Chen Chen held up a blue test tube, showing a thoughtful look, "But this evolution is more like a mutation."

As he spoke, he poured the liquid in the test tube into the human cell culture medium, and then observed silently.

In this laboratory at this time, not only Chen Chen, but also the teams of Hannibal and Li Lei existed.

Around the laboratory, there are several very complicated instruments and equipment. These instruments do not match the style of other instruments, and are more like a product of science fiction.

These instruments were the ones that Chen Chen moved from the biohazard plane. With these instruments, the biotechnology of the Spire Lab has been enhanced again.

It can even be said that the Spire Laboratory at this time has surpassed the biological level of modern human civilization and reached a higher level...

"Mr. Chen."

After a while, Li Lei suddenly called out, "Come here and take a look.

"

Hearing this, Chen Chen walked to the electron microscope and looked at the screen, only to see that the cells in the culture medium began to proliferate rapidly, like bulging bubbles.

"The multiplication rate has changed from a coefficient of 1 to 3, which has more than doubled."

Li Lei was faintly excited, "And every time a cell divides, the length of the telomere hardly decreases, which is exactly the same as the description in the information you brought back. This virus really has the ability to enhance metabolism and prolong lifespan. !"

"Don't be too optimistic."

Chen Chen shook his head without any excitement, "Don't forget, this is just a change in the most ideal environment like a petri dish. In fact, if it is not in a petri dish, but in a normal person's body I'm afraid that at this point this person is already bleeding as if he had been infected with Ebola."

"Because of a problem with the immune system?" Li Lei stopped smiling when he heard this.

"That's right, there are symptoms of illness in the information."

Chen Chen called up the information on the screen and said, "Ancestor virus contains a superantigen toxin. If this virus really enters the human body, it will attack the human immune system first, including lymphocytes, dendritic cells, giant cells Phage cells."

"And as shown in the culture medium, after this virus infects the human body, it can triple the metabolic rate of human beings, which also means that human beings need to consume a lot of nutrients. This consumption rate is simply not what humans can support. started."

"So, the Progenitor Virus has great flaws and does not conform to our experiments."

Li Lei nodded regretfully.

"However, compared to the original progenitor virus, its advanced product is different."

Chen Chen suddenly changed his words. He squinted his eyes and looked at the leech slices in the petri dish beside him, "If you can fuse part of the gene fragments of the leech with the progenitor virus, you can get the famous T-virus."

"Yes, the T virus is indeed better than the ancestor virus."

Hannibal walked over, flipping through the information and added, "The Ancestral Virus does have the ability to enhance human strength and speed, and even prolong human life, but the price is that the success rate is extremely low."

"Just like BE-006, the survival rate of being infected with the Progenitor Virus is less than 10%, and even if you are lucky enough to survive in the end, you may not be able to be changed by the Progenitor Virus, because the human body only produces antibodies and is immune to the virus. harm."

"So the Progenitor virus is actually not perfect, it still has great flaws."

"However, the T virus is different. It is an advanced version of the ancestor virus. It is different from the virulent virus BE-006, but a mild virus that integrates its genetic material into the chromosome of the host cell for long-term symbiosis. "

"During this symbiosis, the genes of the host cell are altered due to the integration of the viral chromosome."

Saying that, Hannibal raised his head, "In short, after humans are infected with this virus, genetic recombination will occur."

Hearing this, Li Lei couldn't help frowning and asked, "But, why did humans become infected with the T virus, not only did they not evolve, but turned into zombies instead?"

"That's because of the failure of evolution."

Chen Chen replied, "If you want to cultivate a creature that can truly fit the T virus, you must start from fertilized eggs, that is to say, you must infect the fertilized eggs with the T virus, let the fertilized eggs grow into real enhanced life, and directly infect humans The consequence of this is that the only way to go is to fail to evolve and become a zombie."

"Of course there are exceptions to all of this."

After thinking about it, Chen Chen added again, "Maybe one or two lucky ones out of millions of people can withstand the attack of the virus and become a superman like Alice..."
