Wang Xueba System

After Luo Hao got acquainted with the equipment in this laboratory, he began to try to operate it.

Wu Haoyu stood aside and watched quietly, waiting for the help that Luo Hao might need.

But what surprised him was that Luo Hao didn't say a word, and just quietly operated by himself.

He could roughly see what Luo Hao was doing.

The green algae that Luo Hao asked him to prepare should be infected by chlorine virus. Luo Hao first tried to infect the green algae with chlorine virus, and found that it went well, and the virus entered the body of the green algae.

This is the first step to confirm the infectivity of chloroviruses to green algae.

The next thing Luo Hao asked him to prepare was a creature called Paramecium.

This kind of creature was only recently discovered. It is said that it can swallow viruses, but there are strict requirements for the type of virus.

But when he saw the chlorine virus, he seemed to understand what Luo Hao wanted to do.

According to the findings of some foreign researchers, Paramecium just uses chlorovirus as food.

"But what if we found this kind of creature that can eat viruses? This creature can't be used to eat Ebola virus." Wu Haoyu was a little puzzled, but he looked at Luo Hao's serious expression and didn't say anything. ask.

Luo Hao marked the chlorovirus with a fluorescent agent, then put this part of the chlorovirus into the petri dish where the Paramecium was located, and recorded the number of Paramecium in the initial state.

Luo Hao then set up a control group with only Paramecium in the petri dish and no chlorovirus.

Then Luo Hao closed his eyes again, and after thinking for a while, he began to look up the details of Paramecium and Chlorovirus.

The main components of viruses are protein and nucleic acid. Nucleic acid is DNA or RNA, which is where the virus records the main genetic information.

These two parts can be decomposed, and according to the chemical composition, they are materials that can provide energy for living organisms.

But simply based on the chemical composition of proteins and nucleic acids, humans should be able to digest them.However, this process is completed by the human digestive tract.

In this way, that is to say, the virus that has been eaten into the stomach may be decomposed, but the infectious virus that has not entered the stomach can still infect humans.

Another problem is that people cannot digest viruses hidden anywhere in the body.This is one of the main reasons why people get sick from viruses.

Luo Hao rubbed the center of his brows, the little hope he saw just now seemed to be blocked by his follow-up deduction.

Luo Hao sighed: "If this can be researched by others so easily, it won't be possible for me to study it."

Shaking his head, Luo Hao was not discouraged, and went to observe the petri dish that had just been placed aside.

The amount of Paramecium in the two petri dishes has not changed significantly, but in the group where Chlorovirus was added, part of Chlorovirus has entered the body of Paramecium.

Luo Hao nodded. Next, he needs to carefully observe whether the devoured chlorine virus will be decomposed.

Luo Hao extracted the paramecium that had swallowed the chlorovirus, and placed it under an electron microscope for careful observation.

This observation lasted for a long time, and Luo Hao didn't stop until Wu Haoyu next to him was tired.

"Phew, it's really been digested, it's not an ordinary virus invasion." Luo Hao let out a long breath.

"Why is this? Simply because this creature is not infected by chlorine virus? Or is it because of something?" Luo Hao couldn't figure it out.

Unable to figure it out, Luo Hao started to flip the phone.

Wu Haoyu on the side stopped standing now and found a seat to sit down. He really couldn't understand Luo Hao, as if he never played cards according to the routine.

Suddenly, Luo Hao let out a cry of surprise, which made Wu Haoyu stand up uncontrollably, thinking that Luo Hao had discovered something.

"It seems to make sense." Luo Hao looked at a short story told on the phone, the ant got into the elephant's nose, biting the elephant's nose could only make the elephant feel itchy, but It is this itching that elephants cannot resolve.

Compared with viruses and humans that can be infected by them, the same principle should be true. Humans cannot see viruses without tools, but viruses can find human weaknesses and then invade.

So in other words, if you want to use organisms to solve viruses, it seems that you can only use organisms that are only a little bigger than viruses or not much different.

Next, Luo Hao carefully studied the process of Paramecium decomposing chlorine virus.

Then began to study the Ebola virus that had been inactivated.

What viruses have in common is that they have no cells, but are simply composed of proteins and genetic material.

Ebola virus is no exception, as long as it can be directly decomposed, it should be able to restrain Ebola virus.

Luo Hao also searched for some white blood cell data in the human body for research.

White blood cells phagocytize foreign harmful substances and then excrete them through the body.However, after searching the information, Luo Hao discovered that the Ebola virus directly attacked the human immune system.

Normal dendritic cells are called antiviral measures.Dendritic cell killer T cells and helper T cells activate and kill the enemy.Ebola first attacks dendritic cells, the brains of the immune system.Then it melts the inner wall and releases proteases, uses the cells as its own nourishment, produces a large number of viruses, and at the same time tricks T cells into death.

Luo Hao was a little dazed looking at the information in front of him. From this point of view, the most important thing now is not to study how to kill the Ebola virus, but to study how to prevent the human immune system from being destroyed by the Ebola virus?

Luo Hao smiled wryly. A plan that he had just thought of was overthrown by a new idea. No wonder so many people have studied it for so long, but there is no progress.But at least the previous ideas were not for nothing.

But Luo Hao wasn't angry, he just started learning biology, just take it slowly.

Next, Luo Hao began to analyze that Paramecium would not be infected by the virus.

It was getting dark outside gradually, and the laboratory was quiet, but Luo Hao's eyes became brighter and brighter.
