Chapter sixty-nine horse meat feast (3)

Let’s work together again.

Kyungsung University Shen Guanglin Laboratory and the Institute of Liver Diseases of Kyungsung Medical University Affiliated Hospital have joined hands.

Another temporary project team was established---the hepatitis B vaccine research and development project team.

The person in charge of the project team is naturally not Shen Guanglin, but his second general, Heng Ha, who is the little horse, the calf, the calf among the small dogs.

Xiao Ma became the de facto person in charge of leukemia research. Mavericks, who debuted with him, was a little behind the times and felt unbalanced.

This is just like Li Dan and Jianguo. They obviously debuted together, one became popular and rich, and the other became fat and decadent.

Xiao Niu became the leader of the hepatitis B vaccine research team and led three or five kittens to start the research and development of the project.

This is a bit excessive. Wherever they apply for a patent first and then develop products later, they are the ones.

What's even more outrageous is that they applied for the patent first and didn't mention it. They still used the name of Shen Guanglin's brother-in-law Lu Jun.

My eldest brother-in-law who lives far away in Tongjiang didn’t even know that he himself had become the inventor of the hepatitis B vaccine.

If someone hadn't found him later and wanted to buy his patent, he wouldn't have known that such a thing existed.

Now, Shen Guanglin's laboratory is collaborating with the Institute of Liver Diseases of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital to develop a real hepatitis B vaccine.

Both parties also have some accumulation and have the basis for cooperation.

The Institute of Liver Diseases of the Medical University has been studying the hepatitis B vaccine for a long time, and they are very familiar with the characteristics of the virus.

The people in the biology group of Shen Guanglin's laboratory have a history of successful genetic modification, and their methods are extremely skillful.

When both parties cooperate, it will be natural to get twice the result with half the effort.

However, in order to make the research and development process smoother, Shen Guanglin still gave guidance.

First use PCR to sequence the DNA of the hepatitis B virus, and then transfer this fragment to yeast. After the yeast has expressed the corresponding gene, just check it again with PCR.

With a good theoretical foundation and good operating tools, success is as simple as that.

It only took half a month for the hepatitis B vaccine to be developed.

When they decided to develop a hepatitis B vaccine, it was already late autumn, and when the vaccine came out, it was not yet the beginning of winter.

Is it that simple?

Actually, it’s not a simple answer at all.

In real history, it was not until 1993, when Shencheng Taikang Biological Company was established, that the country had its first formal hepatitis B vaccine production line, and the technology was introduced from Citigroup Merck Pharmaceuticals.

In October 1993, China finally produced the first batch of recombinant genetically engineered hepatitis B vaccine and began vaccination across the country.

"I heard that the Hepatitis B Vaccine Joint Group has produced a product?"

"Isn't it possible? We have been working on it for more than ten years and haven't made it yet, but they made it in more than ten days? Last week they were still collecting detailed information about the virus."

"But I heard from Sister Liu who works there that they are already preparing to test animals."

"Really or not?"

"It should be true. Sister Liu is my good sister. Would she lie to me?"

"She even lied to her own husband, why can't she lie to you?"

"That's different."

Early that morning, several researchers from the Institute of Liver Diseases of the Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical University sat in the office and discussed the enemy situation.

Ever since the joint project team was established, that side has become the "enemy."

In fact, their feelings are very complicated. They want the other party to develop an efficient hepatitis B vaccine as soon as possible and save the people from disaster, but they don't want them to succeed so early.

Otherwise, it would appear that a group of people of my own are too incompetent.

However, they never expected that a vaccine would have been developed in just half a month.

I heard that today the monkeys will be given "tricks". If the test passes, where will their face be?

As soon as Director Tao arrived at the office, she was immediately surrounded.

"Director Tao, has the joint team produced the hepatitis B vaccine?"

"Not sure yet. They said they were going to do experiments on monkeys and let's see the results."

To be honest, Director Tao's mood is also very complicated.

Less than a month had passed since she approached Shen Guanglin to discuss the development of a hepatitis B vaccine, and she had made such a breakthrough and progress.

Originally, she thought she was upright and upright, but since the joint project team was progressing so quickly, she was not as happy as she had imagined.

Could it be that this is the gap?

However, the biology group of Shen Guanglin's laboratory was different. Even Dou Wei felt that he could be "arrogant" again.

Didn't you form the United Nations to vigorously study leukemia? Look at us, with only a few people, we completed the research and development of the hepatitis B vaccine so low-key and quickly. Isn't that awesome?

Of course, this matter was actually directly led by Shen Guanglin, and was directly carried out by Dou Wei's subordinate Xiao Niu, completely skipping Dou Wei, but he didn't feel anything was wrong.

The credit must belong to everyone. Mavericks was once his assistant and student.

The technology of transferring hepatitis B virus genes to yeast is not a groundbreaking technology. Moreover, experimental instruments are improving with each passing day. This PCR is so easy to use, so it is really not difficult to realize this function.

In particular, the people in the biology group of Shen Guanglin's laboratory are now playing dirty tricks in genetic modification.

In the experimental field, the corn is so sweet that you don’t even need to add sugar to the popcorn; the beans are one meter tall and can be hung in the sun after they are dried; the eggplants are thick and long, so they are especially easy to use at night.

If Shen Guanglin hadn't stopped them, these people would have been exiled long ago.

The successful development of the hepatitis B vaccine suddenly opened their minds to what other viral vaccines can be prepared through genetic modification?

There are many businesses that can be started.

One of the major financial resources of Great Wall Biotechnology is the sale of animals, especially animals used in biological experiments. Now, they can make vaccines.

Up to now, many domestic universities and research institutions have directly asked them to purchase experimental animals, so Great Wall Biotech has already made money.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to buy imported products, the products from Great Wall Biotech are actually of high quality and low price.

Think about it, they only made twice the price, so of course it is high quality and cheap.

Importing from abroad, shipping costs, training fees, and other expenses are sky-high.

Today is a big day, 30 monkeys will be vaccinated against hepatitis B and tested.

This is the Chinese macaque, a very common monkey in China. It looks peaceful and is not big.

It is this kind of monkey that the monkey charmer plays with.

Someone is asking: After the injection of these 30 monkeys, if there is nothing wrong with them, can they eat the monkey brains?

Shen Guanglin hates the cold.

He can accept eating dog meat, eating golden cicadas, and eating silkworm chrysalis, but he can't stand eating monkey brains, or raw monkey brains.

How is this different from cannibalism?

The release of the hepatitis B vaccine can be regarded as a phased achievement, and everyone should celebrate it.

In fact, they knew that it was definitely successful without conducting biological tests, because they had already tested it with a PCR instrument, and the expressed genes were conclusive and were the same as those found in blood cultures.

I heard that their instrument is very useful, and the Institute of Liver Diseases also wants a PCR instrument.

Okay, one unit is $10,000.

It's too expensive, I can't afford it.

If we had this thing, we would have made more achievements long ago.

The celebration is about to begin.

In the biological base, the way everyone celebrates is to hold a barbecue party.

The person in charge of the project is Mavericks, he is the biggest today.

He had a suggestion: Can he eat horse meat?

Why?

There is no reason, I just want to eat horse meat. Who asked Xiao Ma to lead the leukemia project team?

However, there are a few horses in the biological base, but they are all fine Akhal Tekin horses. They were given by Shen Guanglin's good friend, the little prince from the Middle East. How about we eat mules?

Mavericks agreed.

Eat donkeys and mules, not horses and mules.

Mules are also different because donkeys and mules are born from a male horse and a female donkey, while a laboratory pony is a male horse.

The Mavericks are the biggest today, and he has the final say.

No one is allowed to eat beef today, not even buffalo meat.
