The Technology Tree of Xueba

Chapter 141: Testing new methods

On March 23, Zhou Yu and Chen Jin accompanied Xiao Meiling and his wife to the Spark Science and Technology Research Center.

Chen Jin also comforted Xiao Meiling, saying: "Sister Xiao, the Institute of Life Safety led by Director Wang Xiaoxiao, has developed a rapid test method for HIV.

HIV infection can be determined a week after high-risk behaviors, and conventional methods take three months to determine.

If it is determined that Sister Xiao has been infected with AIDS, we will be able to intervene in the first time. If Sister Xiao is in good health, she can stop taking blocking drugs in time. "

Zhou Yu took them into the Life Safety Institute.

The first feeling here is cleanliness, not spotless cleanness, but the pursuit of sterility.

Zhou Yu pointed to the thick glass door on the left and introduced it to everyone: "This is the fourth-level biosafety laboratory constructed by our company. This laboratory can study all severe viruses without worrying about virus leaking from the laboratory."

They waited for a while in the rest area. Wang Xiaoxiao wore clothes made of plastic, wearing a round glass helmet, and walked into the lounge.

He greeted everyone with a smile, walked directly into the professional equipment placed in the corner, a huge cover covering his head, and the glass helmet on his head was taken off after coming out.

Chen Jin asked curiously: "Husband, why didn't Director Wang take off the helmet himself? Your design is too impersonal."

Zhou Yu explained to her: "The chemical protection suit worn by Director Wang is our chemical protection suit specially designed for viruses.

The chemical protective clothing is airtight, and a portable oxygen bag is built in the clothing to prevent any virus from invading the human body.

The helmet uses a magnetic energy buckle, which requires special equipment to be taken off, in order to prevent the magnetic energy buckle from being opened due to violent movement or accidental contact with the switch. "

Zhou Yu asked Xiaoxiao Wang: "How is the HIV test prepared? Can I test it for Ms. Xiao?"

"General Zhou, there is no problem at the laboratory. Take her to draw blood, and the test results will come out immediately." Wang Xiaoxiao said confidently.

Professional scientific researchers in the laboratory took Xiao Meiling to the treatment room, took a small tube of blood, and took it to the laboratory for testing.

Zhou Yu said with apology: "This test method has only been researched, and no test equipment has been developed yet, only laboratory equipment can be used for testing."

Chen Jin asked curiously: "How can you detect HIV so quickly and how accurate is it?"

Zhou Yu said seriously: "This test method is 100% accurate. As long as the time of high-risk behavior is more than one week, HIV in the body will definitely be detected.

I will not explain the basics of human humoral immunity and cellular immunity, you all understand medical science.

After HIV enters the body, it directly attacks lymph T cells and uses it as a host cell to replicate itself.

When HIV is found by phagocytes or lymph T cells, it releases pheromones.

This pheromone summons lymphatic T cells to attack infected cells and the virus itself.

It also stimulates lymphatic B cells to differentiate into plasma cells and memory cells. Plasma cells are used to produce antibodies and kill a large number of viruses in the body.

The conventional detection method is to detect HIV antibodies in the human body. Plasma cells produce a large number of viral antibodies before they can be analyzed by the detection reagent.

We are testing the pheromone transmitted by lymph T cells. As long as the lymph T cells detect HIV, this pheromone will definitely exist in human blood. Without this pheromone, we can prove that the person being tested is safe. "

After Zhou Yugang had finished speaking, Wang Xiaoxiao came out of the laboratory. He took the test sheet and said Shen Sheng: "Ms. Xiao, this is a tonic prescribed by our laboratory doctor based on your physical condition, and the effect is selected Best combination with the lowest side effects. "

Chen Jin's eye circles were red and she said unbelievably: "How did Sister Xiao get AIDS, her exposure was very low, and she paid such a large price to take blocking drugs in a timely manner."

"Ms. Xiao does not have HIV in her body. This is a medicine in our laboratory, Xiao Lu Kai. He is a professional Chinese medicine practitioner. I saw Ms. Xiao's condition just now and learned the type of blocking medicine she took.

Prescribing her body conditioning medicine is really AIDS and we cannot prescribe it. "Wang Xiaoxiao said in amazement.

"You are gasping for words, you scared me."

Chen Jin went to Xiao Meiling again and said happily, "Sister Xiao, you are finally safe now."

She rejoiced from the bottom of her heart and let go of her heavy psychological burden.

"Husband, I'll send Sister Xiao back, you can't walk." Chen Jin looked up at Zhou Yu and asked.

"There are other things here in the research center. You go back first."

Zhou Yu sent Chen Jin away and asked Wang Xiaoxiao: "Director Wang, how is the progress of HIV research and development?"

He already knew the progress of HIV, and the technology tree in his mind had changed.

He guided Wang Xiaoxiao to what he saw from the technology tree through discussions.

In order to achieve this goal, Zhou Yu has been working **** psychology. Now in the field of psychology, he is a master figure. Every small movement and expression can mobilize people's emotions.

His seemingly ordinary words, coupled with his actions, can give people a strong psychological hint, allowing the other party to focus on what Zhou Yu wants to say to him.

Wang Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "General Manager Zhou, after many experimental studies, we have now been able to determine that there is a close relationship between HIV and human herpesvirus-6.

The results of our experiments are basically consistent with the results of scientists reported by American media decades ago.

We are now looking for a specific relationship between the two viruses, preparing to control AIDS through a human herpesvirus-6 virus vaccine, and trying to make a vaccine that is not afraid of the mutation of HIV through the same characteristics. "

Zhou Yu pretended to be contemplative, sorting out his own language in his heart.

He brightened his eyes and said, "The vaccine stimulates lymphatic B cells to produce antibodies, which are related to specific proteins on the surface of the virus. However, HIV is RNA, which is genetic material, and its stability is not as stable as DNA.

Specific proteins on the surface of viruses often change. Uukanshu.com's HIV is very different from the HIV virus that was discovered earlier. The solution to HIV through vaccines is not feasible.

It would be nice if we could decipher the language of communication between HIV and human herpesvirus-6. "

Wang Xiaoxiao patted his thigh and said with surprise: "The reason why HIV can overcome the human immune system is that its host cells are lymph T cells. It has a strong concealment. The number of virus replication in the later period is huge and the damage is much greater The ability of the human immune system to repair itself.

As long as we crack the HIV communication password, we can use human guidance to find the hidden HIV in the human immune system.

In this way, even if HIV cannot be eliminated, HIV treatments with low side effects can be made. "

Zhou Yu watched as Wang Xiaoxiao was finally guided to the right direction by himself.

He said with a smile: "Director Wang, you are studying in this direction. If viruses can communicate with each other, they must have their own language. We must decipher the virus language and we must find a way to solve it."
